Automation - subtasks duedate based on parent's duedate

[Maciej Wojtasiński]

Hello,

I'm trying to create an automation rule that should create subtasks with duedates based on parent's due date. I've read a documentation and tried using {{issue.parent.duedate}} in duedate field but it doesn't work. Any ideas? I don't want to just copy it from parent using COPY option because next step will be using .plusBusinessDays function.

Hi @Maciej Wojtasiński 

can you provide a screenshot of your rule? Depending on what triggers the rule, the {{issue}} will be something different and might not be your Sub-Task.

Have you tried {{issue.parent.Due Date}} with a space?

It looks like this:

Using Due date with space didn't work

Oh but you were right about context of duedate source. It won't be parent, when issue creates subtasks, just {{issue.duedate}}

Thanks!
