I need to be able to execute an automation "every two weeks on Wednesday". Since you can't specify this directly in the Cron expression I am approaching this with a Cron expression to run every Wednesday and have a conditional to check whether or not to skip or continue this week.
This is what I was hoping to be able to use based on determining if I am a multiple of 14 days out from an anchor date.
{{#=}}{{now.diff("2023-06-28").days}} % 14{{/}}
The above should be 0 every two weeks from 2023-06-28 so I would use the above in an advanced compare checking for equals 0.
Unfortunately it doesn't work to have a literal date in the diff function.
Does anyone has a suggestion for how to get that date accepted in the function or how you have implemented the every other week specification in a rule? Note this is data center so I don't have the ability to set a variable.
A colleague pointed me to https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Jira-automation-Cron-condition-every-2-weeks/qaq-p/1591412?anon_like=1591489 which resolved this for me.
