How to automatically update Due Date for a reopened task?

[Ben Weisman]

I don't see Due Date as an available field when trying to add a post function so that a reopened task's Due Date gets updated to the current day.  Thanks for the help.

hello

you can use 'update issue custom field' post function for this. choose due date and write something like  %%CURRENT_DATETIME%% in the value field.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Due Date is not showing in my custom field list nor my field list....so I am not sure where to find it.

[Ben Weisman]

Because Due Date is not a Custom Field. But it's also not in my dropdown for non-custom Field LIst.

[Elifcan Cakmak]

yes it's not a custom field however it should be visible in the list as you can see here. can you show me the ss?

hi

which version of JIRA you are using and have you installed JIRA suite utilities plugin?

[Ben Weisman]

JIRA 5.2. I'll check on the plugin, not sure.

[Ben Weisman]

Yes, I do have that plugin, version 1.3.2.

In similar line... whenever task reopens, I would like to set the EPIC linked Due Date field to the current day in the same post function. Any idea on how to achieve this?

I had written one groovy script to do the same ... but "epicLink.dueDate = issue.dueDate" is not proper to set the needed Due Date value into EPIC linked to the re-opened task !

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException

log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG)

def issue = issue as Issue

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def epicLinkCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Epic Link")

def epicLink = issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLinkCf) as Issue

def dueDate = epicLink.dueDate

if (! issue.dueDate){     throw new InvalidInputException("Release requested 'ITG_IN' Due Date is to be updated, to Commit the code changes into planned Release branch !") }  

if(issue.dueDate > dueDate){     epicLink.dueDate = issue.dueDate     return true }
