Auto populate date field in Jira Product Discovery

[Minaz Fazal]

Hi There

How do i get the date field to auto populate based on a linked jira task?  In the help videos it says i should just enable the autopopulate field but that option does on exist when i look for it.  What am i missing or where should i be looking for this field?

thanks

hi 

sorry it was not a video but instruction on the Product Discovery support site, here is the link that i was referencing:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-product-discovery/docs/configure-autofill-dates/

here is a screen shot of what i see when i click on the settings for the Engineering Date field, there is no option to auto populate from a linked Jira case, which is what i would like to do.

Thanks for that information!

What is your role with the JPD project?  I believe you need to be a Project Administrator to configure the fields to use Autofill.

thats it, thanks!  Once configured will other user still see the auto populated date or not?

[Bill Sheboy]

Yes, they will.  You (as the admin) are configuring the fields / behavior and others will see the result of that configuration...the same as for other project types.
