Jira automation: Cron condition every 2 weeks

[Sergio Montávez]

Hi, I'm creating a Jira Automation rule and I want it to be launched on each Monday alternatively, in other words the first day of a 2 weeks timeframe.

I've checked the CRON documentation but cannot find the solution: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/construct-cron-expressions-for-a-filter-subscription/

Thanks!

Hi @Sergio Montávez 

I believe the standard cron doesn’t provide such a feature and you may need to look at a more complex expression which Jiramay still not support.

Have a look at this article: https://coderwall.com/p/yzzu5a/running-a-cron-job-every-other-week where the author shows running a cron expression every other Monday. Note still that this depends on if Jira supports expressions in your cron job.

If anyone is more familiar, I hope you can help here.

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately, some of those expressions are not supported by Jira according to their documentation: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/construct-cron-expressions-for-a-filter-subscription/
