Having Trouble Automating Date for Custom Date Field

[Amelia Giuliani]

Hi Everyone, 

I am attempting to have an issue automatically be created every Sunday. I have been able to set the description and information but I'm also trying to automatically set dates for the due date and custom date fields. 

When I have run this automation, the issue is created and the due date is set but the custom date fields I have error when I ask it to automatically set dates. 

Basically I want the check date field set to Friday, the Process date to Wednesday and the Funding date to Thursday: 

Here is how I entered the dates in the automation: 

I do have the custom field set to the date picker. Anyone know what I'm missing?

Hi @Amelia Giuliani 

Would you please post an image of your audit log, showing a rule execution with the error details?  Thanks!

Kind regards,
Bill

Here is the log with the errors.

Thanks, Amelia!

A few causes of that error are:

• when the fields are not available for the issue type being edited, or
• when the fields are not available on the issue edit view/page, or
• when the user the rule runs under does not have access to the issue

Have you checked those things yet?

Also, is this a single project-scope rule or a global/multi-project scope rule?

Thank you.  I added the fields to the create view for the project and that worked!
