Set Due date using automation

[Dana_Harel]

Hi, 

Im using an automation which opens a task every 1st of the month. 

I want to set up the Due date field to be a specific date in the month.

For example - I want the task to open each month with a Due date to the 25th of this month. 

I tried using - {{now.startOfMonth("+25")}} 

But it's not working

Would love to get some help, Thanks

Hey @Dana_Harel 

1. Please try {{now.plusDays(25)}}

2. Can you please show printscreen of the whole automation if 1. doesn't help?

Hi @Dana_Harel 

There are at least two ways to do this, as described here: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-date-and-time/

{{now.startOfMonth.plus(24)}}  add 24 days to the 1st of the month = 25th

{{now.withDayOfMonth(25)}}  set the day of month, no matter when the rule runs, to the 25th

Best regards,
Bill
