JMWE Update date for all cascading linked issues

[Joseph HANI]

Hello everyone ! 

I hope you're doing great ! 

I'm trying to set up a JMWE Event based-actions where, if the start date (or due date) of an issue A change, the start date of all the cascading issue : 

- Issue A block Issue B

- Issue B block Issue C

- Issue C block Issue D

- ... 

 Should also shift by the same number of days. I've successfully made it using Jira cloud Automation, but it seems that I'm being block by the loop limit of 10 execution ... and I can't figured out ... so I thought that JMWE could be the answer to all my problem ... lol 

Using JMWE I can't find how / where to calculate the dateDifference and make it update on all cascading issue ... 

I suppose that if it's an Event based-actions it will trigger all the cascading issue since they will update their start date 

Any help will be greatly appreciated ! 

Have a nice week end !

JMWE has a Nunjucks filter called date that has a number of different features. The following adds 1 day to the due date and returns it as a date object. 

 {{ issue.fields["Due date"] | date("add", 1, "days" ) | date }}

Does that help?

Hello Derek ! 

Not really the answer i'm looking for :/ 

This is what i'm looking for : 

Action	original date	new date	shift
Issue A	Feb 1, 2025	Feb 5, 2025	+4 Days
Linked issue B Start date	Feb 10, 2025	Feb 10, 2025	Shifter +4Days
Linked issue C	Feb 18	Feb 22, 2025	Shifted +4 Days (also)
