Is it possible to use smart values in Summary field when creating issues with Jira Automation?

[janez_m]

I love the Jira Automation plugin, but it seems I am unable to use the smart values for the month description on the Summary field?

We have recurring tasks and I want to insert the name of the current month into the Summary, but whatever I tried with smart values, it was not satisfactory.

I've tried:

{code}

{{monthOfYear}}

{{now.monthOfYear}}

{{now.startOfMonth}}

{{now}}

{/code}

The best I've got are only numbers, like 1 for January, or the whole date-string for now, but I would need a descriptive name, like January, not just the number 1. I suppose it is possible to do this only with custom smart values? How would you do this?
