Jira Smart Values If Else Statement

[Krzysztof Kiser]

Hey there,

I need to pass smart value in Jira Automation for it to set a date field based on the below conditions:

If customfield_10206 <= now.startOfMonth Then now.startOfMonth

Else now.plusMonths(1).startOfMonth

Is it possible to achieve this in smart values?

Here is the rule.

Use less than for your requirements

Hi @Krzysztof Kiser 

Without seeing your complete automation rule for context, I believe there are at least 2 ways to do this: use if/else conditions or use conditional, smart value expressions. 

What have you tried thus far to solve this?

Kind regards,
Bill

This is already part of another if/else statement within automation. I would like to use the smart value expressions, but I can't get it to work.

I believe that is possible with a conditional, smart value expression: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/jira-smart-values-conditional-logic-1081351607.html  Such conditions only have "true" cases, not if/else, and so two expressions will be needed or you can combine this with a math expression: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/jira-smart-values-math-expressions-993924866.html

Please post images of what you have tried, and explain what is not working as you expect:

• an image of your complete rule,
• an image of the details of the action with your expression, and
• an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution.

Those will provide context for the community to offer suggestions.
