How add current month into Summary and Description of an issue?

I'm using "Automation for Jira" to create recurring monthly tasks. It is working fine it creates issues each month on a certain day. However, I would like to add the month into the Summary and description. For example, if it's August the summary should be "It's time to following with Customer XYZ - August or August 2021", I'll add something similar in the description too with the month. How I can add a date variable that it's value gets change each month?

Thanks

Hi @Shah Baloch

You could use a smart value to insert a date (although I'm not sure you could add just the month)

You could add on your summary e.g. It's time to following with Customer XYZ - 1 August 2021" if you run your automation every 1st of the month.

Do you think you can work with that?

These work:

{{now.format("MMMM")}} = October

{{now.format("MMM")}} = Oct

Hi @Alex Koxaras -Relational- thank you for the quick response. For some reason, it's not including the date. Neither the custom date field displays date nor summary and description. Here is how I set it up. Thanks

Please paste your rule, as well as the results.

I deleted and recreated the rules and it worked. Thanks

Thank you @Brian KeefeIt works. How can I include the year, like "October 2021"? Thank you for your help.

Never mind, I added YYYY and it worked. Thank you for your help. Here is the updated one.

{{now.format("MMMM, YYYY")}}

Hi @Alex Koxaras -Relational- ,

I write the summary with this text and when the ticket is created the result is:

Do I need a gadget or script to use this?

My idea is to create automatic tickets with the date in the summary.

Thanks,

You can use smart values on automation. You can't use them in fields when creating/editing an issue.

Where do you write this summary? Within an automation? Inside a workflow?

I have tried creating a ticket but I want to automate it with the option: Manage Scheduled Issues

I'll try the "Manage Scheduled Issues" with these summary.
