Automatically update date values in a dropdown list

[rmax]

We have a dropdown list with quarters which we would like to update automatically based on the current date

For example:

Q1 2023, Q2 2023, Q3 2023, Q4 2023 updating to 

Q2 2023, Q3 2023, Q4 2023, Q1 2024

as we enter January. 

Is there any way to add a new quarter automatically?

Hi @rmax , there is not a means of doing this natively. I have seen marketplace add-ons that support dynamic custom fields but I have not personally used any myself. I did the following search in the marketplace that you might want to have a look at if that is an option. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=jira&query=dynamic%20field%20values 

With that said, I wonder if simply using Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 would not suffice? You can couple this with the create a date field. For example if I want to find all issues created this year with Q1 in my "Quarter" field

created >= startofyear() and quarter = Q1

Thank you!  I was thinking we would go for just the Qs without dates if we're not able to.  Is the Create A Date field found in Custom Fields?

@rmax  - Yes, it is a type of Custom Field.
