how can I set rules for a custom date field

[Abhinay G]

Hello Folks, 

I want to set rules to the custom date field.

Example : say I created a custom date field called "Expected Done date" and I want to default the value of the field based on the below condition.

Condition 1 : If the Priority of the issue is set as P1 then "Expected Done date" should default to "{today}+{2days}"

Condition 2 : If the Priority of the issue is set as P2 then "Expected Done date" should default to "{today}+{5days}"

Please suggest if there is a way to do this

Hi @Abhinay G -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

One way to do that would be with an Automation for Jira rule.  Please look here for information and examples to get you started:
