Field increment through smart value

[Fadi Shahwan]

Hi, 

I created an automation role to increment field "Retarget no." +1 whenever the target date field is changed. I'm not sure what should be the smart value i need to add in "Retarget no."

any idea ?

Hi @Fadi Shahwan, You can use the smart value {{#increment}}{{issue.customfield_xxxx}}{{/}}

Hello @Manoj Gangwar ,

I learned something new today! ;)
Thank you for sharing; this is much better than a smart value of the mathematical type

Thanks @Manoj Gangwar 

it is working fine {{#increment}}{{issue.customfield_xxxx}}{{/}}

Hi @Fadi Shahwan ,

Please try below, it may be helpful to you. 

Create a numeric custom field called "target date".

You'd need to set the Default Value to 0, and you probably want to make it "read-only" by only showing it on View screens.

create an Automation that is triggered whenever the "target date" field value changes.

then Edit the issue fields and have "target date" set to 

{{#=}}{{issue.target date}} + 1{{/}}

Regards,

Kumar

Without that information my educated "guess" about what would work would come from this page
