Monday of a custom field date

[Myles Boyd]

I have found  this to calculate next Monday how do I calculate the Monday of this week, even if in the past.

{{now.withNextDayOfWeek("MON")}}

Hi @Myles Boyd 

Please try using one of the with... functions, such as

• withDayOfWeek()
• withDayOfWeekName()
• withDayOfWeekShortName()

Kind regards,
Bill

UPDATE:

Those functions are not working with the inline format for Jira Cloud, tested as recently as today, 15 Feb 2025 0845 Pacific Time.  I do not know when they stopped working.

The only one that is currently working is the long-format of withDayOfWeek():

{{#now}}func=withDayOfWeek(1), format="yyyy-MM-dd"{{/}}

Please see a related post on my testing for the functions:
