How can I display the "Start date" in Summary/Description (Jira Cloud Automation)?

Damian de Vries

We are currently busy with automating our Employee Onboarding within Jira.

We are almost done but we still need to display the data from the "Start date" system field.

Our automation is triggered when an Employee Onboarding issue type is set from To do to In progress, at that moment another issue is created in a different project, so what we use in the automation is {{triggerissue.fields.[...]}}

What we then want is to have the Start date from the issue that triggered the automation to carry over to the summary and description of the newly created issue in a different project.

How can I tackle this issue?

I managed to solve this issue, in another community post someone pointed out where I could find the ID for the Start Date field (it was located in the advanced roadmap settings).

Hi, Do you want to have Summary ass "Summary + start Date"? and same for Description?

Where this start date is situated at - current ticket or another ticket

Hi Piyush,

I managed to tackle this issue by finding the ID for the Start date in the Advanced Roadmap configuration!

Good afternoon. I have the same problem, can you share how you solved this problem?

I was very grateful to you

Hi Rustam,

I will try to explain it as best as I can.

If you have created a Plan in Jira (if not you can create a plan under the plans section) you need to navigate to that Plan.

When you have opened the Plan you can click on the gear icon next to name of your Plan and then you can click on configure.

This will open the settings for your plan and you will see a tab called scheduling, inside this tab you can see the field id for the Start Date next to it under the header dates.

Please let me know if this helped!
