Can't find "Target Start" and "Target End" in the automation section

[Venky]

I am trying to copy date from 2 existing fields to "Target Start" and "Target End" dates. But I can't  find these two fields in the drop down "Choose Fields to Set" in the "Edit Section" of the Automation. 

I also see a message at the bottom of the drop down that if you can't find all the fields, use the "Advanced" section.  Where can I find it?

For a more advanced use case, for an example, copying the field from trigger issue to a linked issue, following can be utilized:

{
"fields": {
"customfield_11111": "{{triggerIssue.customfield_50048.jiraDate}}"
}
}

 customfield_11111 = Target End or Any portfolio date field

triggerIssue.customfield_50048.jiraDate = [source issue].[source field in soure issue].[generic date format]

Hi @Venky ,

You can update your field like below

To find your field id, open advance issue search with JQL, type your field name

cf[xxx] is your field id -> it means Target start = customfield_10022, Target end = customfield_10023.

Remeber that you have to format your date value to yyyy-MM-dd, your smart value should be issue.your_source_date_field.jqlDate (your_source_date_field like due, created, customfield_xxx,...) 

Hope this helps!

Hi Guys,

Yes its an odd one I am having a similar issue with JIRA automation and  

additional fields.

Advanced Roadmaps Target End = cf11111 , Target Start  = cf11112

{
"fields":{
"customfield_11111":"{{2022-10-31}}" ,
"customfield_11112":"{{2022-10-01}}"
}
}

No luck populating on a create

Thanks

This is the correct format:

"customfield_11111" : "2015-11-18"
