How can I set the fixVersion based on Due Date

Question

Hello all,

I have releases set up for the whole year and use the following alpha-numeric naming convention for them: "Release 2022.01", "Release 2022.02" and so on....

I am looking to automatically set the fixVersion to the appropriate release, when a 'Due Date' is populated or updated.

Is there a way to do this using JIRA automation? Thank you very much in advance for any and all help.

Cheers!

Hi @Dinesh Radhakrishnan

The Create variable action might help in this case.

You can use it to create a variable called version with value: BWAP {{issue.duedate.getYear()}}.{{issue.duedate.getMonthOfYear()}}

Then in the Edit issue action, you can set the fix versions field with {{version}} (the variable you created).

Hope that helps.

Hi @Aradhana Gupta ,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. To clarify, I have already set up the release versions for the year which are available for selection on a ticket's fixVersion field. The idea is that when my team updates a due date on any ticket, I want the fixversion to be set to the same month's release as the due date.

I found a smart code formula somewhere but it does not seem to be working.

I have attached a few screenshots of what I have now.

Thanks again!

HI Dinesh,

I do not think you can search for a fix version within the due date range and set that fix version via Automations. ( If  that is what you intent to do)

You could probably have a if else statement that say if date range in this then set fix version to say 2.1 . however this will need you to update whenever you add or edit a new fix version.

You can look at using scripts and API;s to achieve this functionality.

Thanks
