[Project Automation] Using smart values in the summary field

[Nicat Nagiyev]

Hello community,

I'm using the former codebarrol app "Automation for Jira".  Now I have following requirement for our monthly settlement process:

I creating scheduled tickets, which works fine. The issues are created on the last day of the month. Regarding the created date the summary should look like this:

Monthly settlemeant - mm-yyyy (from created date)

I tried to implement that with smart values, but it doesn't work. Is there any other solution for that?

I used this expression: {{issue.created.format("MM/yyyy")}}

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regard,

Nicat

Hi @Nicat Nagiyev ,

I think you can not get the "issue.created" value inside create issue action. Because at the time of  "issue.created" function call, issue has not created yet. Instead of "issue.created", try using "now".

{{now.format("MM/yyyy")}}

Thank you @Mehmet A _Bloompeak_ ! That works fine!

Hi Nicat,

I was playing with this and I think I found a solution but TBH it is odd that you have to do this to me. So I created two actions in the rule:

• create issue and add summary
• edit the issue and choose the Summary field to edit. this is where you place your smart value as you have shared.

LMK if this works.

Hi Nicat,

Can you share some screenshots of what you have and what is not working?

Hi @John Funk ,

this is the rule I created:

The CRON expression is just for testing.

And can you share a screenshot of what is failing? Either from the Audit log or screenshot of the Epic?
