Hi @RAMCEL MAGNAYE ,

You can try to use the "fullDate" format to get the current date and the date of the issue being created:

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-date-and-time/

Adding a snapshot below for reference of how it would look:

Along with this you can use the "shortTime" format to get the time as well for comparison later. I haven't tried out the comparison but in theory I would make something like this:

• IF: "{{issue.created.fullDate.split(",").first}} == SATURDAY or SUNDAY"
  • IF: TIME CREATED > 6PM, <11PM
  • THEN: ACTION: Edit Field

is this also giving the same result ?

Will have to test it out.

Try this, create a test ticket and update it's created date to Saturday after 6PM, Now run the Automation but only perform Log Action on success, and don't use the Now.FullDate to compare too since it will have to wait for the weekend. Hardcode the Weekend names for checking.

Hello @RAMCEL MAGNAYE 

do you want the rule to run every hour between 6-11 on Sat/Sun
OR do you want the rule to run everytime an Issue is created but only between 6-11 on Sat/Sun?

[RAMCEL MAGNAYE]

 run everytime an Issue is created but only between 6-11 on Sat/Sun this is the idea

@RAMCEL MAGNAYE -

I agreed with @Jehan Bhathena suggestion.  Nice way of using smart value "fullDate" format.

Best, Joseph Chung Yin
