Did that work for you ?

Hi @Neenu jose ,

Here is a script you can use for your need :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

import java.sql.Timestamp

def dueDateChanged = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")?.find {it.field == "duedate"}

if (issue.getDueDate() != null){
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def dueDateProvidedOnId = 12500
def dueDateProvidedOn = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(dueDateProvidedOnId)
def dueDateProvidedOnValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(dueDateProvidedOn)

dueDateProvidedOn.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(dueDateProvidedOnValue, new Timestamp(new Date().getTime())), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())
}

Use a script listener on the "Issue Updated" event, and any additional event where you are likely to change the due date.

Also add a script post function in the create transition, use this script while removing this line :

def dueDateChanged = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")?.find {it.field == "duedate"}

Let me know if that helped.
