When a version status is Done and set the release date.

Hi @Brian Taylor 

There is no automation rule action to update a version, but there is a trigger to detect an update.

Have you tried to do something like this...

• trigger: version updated
• advanced compare condition: use the change log to determine if the released attribute changed to true
• advanced compare condition: to check if the release date is empty
• action: send a web request to set the release date with a REST API function: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-project-versions/#api-rest-api-3-version-id-put

Kind regards,
Bill

Do you happen to have an example of this automation that I can use?

[Bill Sheboy]

I do not have an example, although I provided the steps for the entire rule above, including the specific REST API function to call. 

Using automation rules requires learning and experimentation, and so I encourage you to try to create the rule.  And if you run into problems, post images of your rule and the audit log details, and describe what is not working as you expect.

Here are some additional references to get you started on creating your rule:
