Automation - Add dynamic comment data using the "Add comment to issue" action

[Louwrens Boshoff]

I have repetitive tasks and when the criteria are met according to my automation rules, a text comment with JQL to explain to the assignee when the task is due must be added. I have used {{now.plusWeeks()}}, but it gives me a long date and time format.  Need to shorten this to just the month.  Any suggestions?

Hi @Louwrens Boshoff and welcome to the community!

If you want to format the date to only show the month, you would just do something like this:

• {{now.format("mmmm")
  • Returns September
• {{now.format("mmm")
  • Returns Sep
• {{now.format("mm")
  • Returns 09
• {{now.format("m")
  • Returns 9
