How to automatically set a Duedate based on the startdate + Storypoints

[das_ sajishg _Contractor_]

Based on the Startdate and the Story points, I would like to establish the automation rule for the Due date. One day equals one story point.

Hi @das_ sajishg _Contractor_ -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What you describe is not a common use of story points, where they are a relative measure which may evolve over time.

You appear to want a time-based measure, so please consider using the time tracking, Original Estimate field.  Then your rule could use the date time functions to add to the start date value:

Hello @das_ sajishg _Contractor_, 

I am part of the support team of Decadis and I would like to propose a solution using our app Jira Workflow Toolbox.

It would be possible to add some days to the current date and time and then set a field with this value as explained in the use case Set a date field to a future date.

If the days to be added depend on the number of story points, the expression should be adjusted as follows, where nnnnn should be replaced with the ID of your Story points field:

%{dateTimeToString( {system.currentDateTime} + {issue.cfnnnnn} *DAY , "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sZ", RUN_AS_LOCAL, RUN_AS_LANG)}

Please, make sure that a value for the Story points field is always present when executing this expression if you eventually use it.

If you need more information about this or other implementations, please, do not hesitate to contact us in this thread or via our Support Service Desk or visit our documentation.

Best regards,

Vicente
