First Day of Next Month

[Ryan Rosenthal]

I'm trying to setup automation for a scheduled issue using Automation for Jira. Within the body of a text field, I would like to reference a future date, the first day of the next month. How can I write that out with a smart value?

You can use the smart value {{now.plusMonths(1).startOfMonth}} to reference the first day of the next month.

I would refine it thus with a format function:

{{now.plusMonths(1).startOfMonth.jiraDate}}

Otherwise you get a value like this:

2023-03-01T21:35:55.0+0000
