Due date automatic add

[Tim Shirazi]

Hi I'm looking to add due date according to Category label fill.

For example - category A = 5 days from the current date in the due date.

This is the script that the Chat provide me but its not working.

Hey Tim,

That looks horrible. I would suggest not using Chat for that. 

So in the Due Date field use this: {{issue.duedate.plusBusinessDays(5)}}

Hi, @Tim Shirazi 

Agree with @John Funk , it's better to use standard Smart Values. 

Code, which you wrote - it's groovy code, used in ScriptRunner. Of course, you can use it for setting duedate, but it's must be made in special Action (and again, using Smart Value is more optimal in your case)

@John Funk thank you for the fast reply! 

I tried your advice for  {{issue.duedate.plusBusinessDays(5)}}.

its run successfully at the Audit log but unfortunately the due date still empty.

Can you  please assist?  

[John Funk]

Was the Due Date empty before it ran? 

[Tim Shirazi]

Yes it was @John Funk .

[John Funk]

Sorry, I missed that it was the current date. Use {{now.plusBusinessDays(5)}}.

[Tim Shirazi]

Great !!@John Funk 

Thank you.

general question, it has to be business days? our company is working 24\7. 

[John Funk]

Great! Glad it is working!

No, you can use  {{now.plusDays(5)}}
