Automation - Change Status if date entered is today or prior

[kweibelt]

Users will enter a completion date in Jira. Sometimes this date is today or prior and sometimes they will enter a future date to follow up and verify the issue closed. 

I would like to make an automation rule that when they enter the completion date, the status will update to closed unless the completion date is later than today. 

I am not sure how to accomplish this.

Hi there,

This thread might be useful as an example of an automation rule that updates an issue based on the issue's due date:

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
