Adding Smart Value To Jira Summary For Quarterly Tasks

[Matt S_]

Hello.  Our team currently has an automation rule set to create issues quarterly (that part is working as expected).  We are attempting to discover a way (if at all possible) to have the issue summary state actual quarter months i.e. "Jan-Mar/2025"  The current smart value being use is {{now.format("MMMM/yyyy")}} which shows, for example, as “Jan/2025”

Any insight from the community would be most helpful.  Thank you.

Hello @Matt S_ 

You could do this by concatenating values.

{{now.format("MMMM")}}-{{now.plusMonths(2).format("MMMM")}}/{{now.format("yyyy")}}

Thank you all for your warm welcome and quick turn regarding my inquiry.  The solution @Trudy Claspill provided worked!  I really appreciate it!
