Using a Create/Clone Post-function with JMWE to set a Date Field based on Frequency Field

[Dillon]

Hi Atlassian Community;

I am using a Create / Clone Issue(s) Post-function through JMWE and am trying to set up a recurring type workflow with an Audit style issue process.

To simplify it, I have the following setup.

Custom Field A: Issue Frequency

• Drop-Down field with 3 values
  • Weekly
  • Bi-Weekly
  • Monthly

Custom Field B: Due Date

• Date Field

On the very first initial issue creation, the creator specifies the Due Date and the Frequency.

As the issue moves through the workflow, on the In-Progress --> Done Transition, the  Create/Clone post-function kicks in and creates a new issue with select fields that copy over.

For the date, I want the 'Due Date' to change from the initial due date to be either

• + 7 for Weekly
• + 14 for Biweekly
• + 31 for Monthly

Based on the Issue Frequency selected.

Is there a way to do this on the Set Field value to Groovy Expression within the Set Fields of New Issue in the Post-Function.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Dillon ,

In the "Create / Clone issue(s) (JMWE app)" post-function, select the "Due Date" field under "Set fields of new issue" and add the below "Groovy Expression"

if(!!issue.get("duedate")) {
switch(issue.get("customfield_10300")) {
case "Weekly": return (issue.get("duedate") + 7)
case "Bi-Weekly": return (issue.get("duedate") + 14)
case "Monthly": return (issue.get("duedate") + 31)
}
}

Replace 10300 with the id of the 'Frequency' field.
