Need to Auto Populate the Target Completion date Field based upon Priorities change

[Venkata Sagar]

When Priority is set in the Bug ticket OR When Priority is modified to a new Priority Value, auto populate the "Target Completion Date" with a date based off the following time duration per Priority Level measured from the time of ticket creation:

For example, if a ticket is created on 8/20/21, and the Priority is set to P1 on 8/24/21, then the Target Completion Date should be auto populated to 9/24/21
Another example - if a ticket previously was a P1, then its priority is modified to P2, and its original Target Completion Date was 10/5/21, then the Target Completion Date needs to be auto-updated to 11/9/21

Hello @Venkata Sagar 

You can use Automation for Jira to do that.

You will create two automation.

One that is triggered on creation and that edit the Target completion date using the function plusweeks

1. trigger = on issue creation
2. add a condition to filter on your issuetype for example
3. use the if/else condition to check for the value of priotiry
4. edit the completion date using the function plusweek
   1. {{now.plusWeeks(3)}}

The second automation should be triggered on priority editions and use almost the same. the smartvalue should be something like 

1. {{Target Completion Date.plusWeeks(3)}}
