Query issue created fulldate for day of week in automation

[NaheemW]

Hi 

I'm trying to see if it's possible to split out a round robin in an automation, so that on finding Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday in {{issue.created.format.fullDate}} then it will assign to one group of people, and on finding Thursday / Friday it assigns to another group of people. So far it's not picking up, but i'm doing it on a smart values condition where

{{issue.created.fullDate}}

contains

(Thursday|Friday)

Is there something I'm missing or is this not a way of dealing with this.

Hi @NaheemW 

can you try to use

// Get the day of the week the issue was created
{{issue.created.dayOfWeekName}}

which I do found here:

Automation smart values - date and time | Cloud automation Cloud | Atlassian Support

Plus the RegEx described here :-) should make it finally
