How to get a custom date value

[vikram_s]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking out for a solution to be implemented within Jira Automation, I would like to get a placeholder  date value by adding 90 days to the current date. I could see smart values are the one that is something available to execute this expression. but I Dont want to compare it with any value, I want to get this placeholder value and reference it output on a webrequest call to validate and create ticket further in Jira. 

Can someone help me how I can acheive this using smart values or do I have any other option to get this use case implemented?

Hi Vikram_s, 

Welcome to the community! 

You lost me a little with this sentence "I want to get this placeholder value and reference it output on a webrequest call to validate and create ticket further in Jira. " but if I understand correct you need the date of 90 days in the future to create issues with? 

You can look up the smart value syntax here. You don't need an existing field to compare / use. you can just use {{now}} to reference the current date date of the execution of the rule.

{{now.plusDays(3)}}

Hope this helps!
