Hi @Marina Kotler 

You can set a field in the Edit Issue action component. Choose the field to set and enter the smart value.

Check out the smart value docs here

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-date-and-time/

There is a section showing how you can add time to a date

{{[date].plus[Unit]([number])}}

Takes the given date and time, adds the number of the unit specified, and returns the resulting date and time. The units that can be used are:

• Millis

• Seconds

• Minutes

• Hours

• Days

• Weeks

• Months

• Years

• BusinessDays (business days are considered to be Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm)

Example

{{sprint.startDate.plusDays(14)}}

If the current value of {{now}} is 2020-08-20T13:12:03.1+0000:
{{now.plusHours(1).shortTime}}
//returns 2:12 PM

{{now.plusWeeks(3)}}
//returns 2020-09-10T13:12:03.1+0000:
