Auto populate date fields based on another field

[Bill Bayer]

I am trying to create a JIRA automation Time Tool that would allow dates for a target schedule to auto populate based on a date field being entered. Would this be possible using the {{fieldChange.to}} smart value? 

I've tried using, {{issue.customfield.Launch Date.minusWeeks(2)}} for the install date field in automation, but it never populates

The schedule I'm trying to set up is, 

User will enter launch date

Install date will auto populate to 3 weeks before launch date

Shipping date 1 week before install date

Test date 1 week before shipping date

Order date 6 weeks before test date

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Bill Bayer 

I believe your smart values for the field may be incorrect.  Please try this one for the example you noted:

{{issue.Launch Date.minusWeeks(2)}}

If that does not work, please try using the information in this how-to article to confirm the name of the smart value for your field: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/

Kind regards,
