Automation with data

[Elena Bertucco]

In an automation I would like to insert that the expiry date is changed automatically. The due date should always be 15 May but with the current year (which will then change from year to year) I have tried some formulas which do not give me any errors but still do not change the date

@Elena Bertucco 

can you also share the trigger point for your rule?

is your use case is expiry date and due date same?

What values would you like to populate for Start date and Completion date in your automation? Currently those are blank as per the screen shot

My expiry date is one month after the trigger date.

The start date and completion date blank because i want the automation to delete all the information in those fileds. THose fields will be completed be the user in a second time because they are always different

You can create a smart variable say dueDate and set to {{now.withDayOfMonth(15).withmonthOfYear(5)}}

When you do edit issue, which ever field you want to set to, use {{dueDate}}. That should work.

Also, in your schedule, hope that you are specifying JQL to filter out records

Hi @Elena Bertucco 

Can you give screenshots of your current automation implementation to suggest you changes?

Hi,

This is my current formula:

Can you try -> {{now.withDayOfMonth(15).withMonth(5)}}
