Automation to change the due date from EPIC

[Jan Schiemann]

Dear all,

I'm searching for a automation which changes the due date from my Epics.

I have currently following set up: The feature, Epics and tasks are marked with a Release (Fix version) this release has a fix release date. (For example 31.Jan 2024) Now i wanna have a automation where i can set the due date from the Epics 10 days before this release date.

I tried to figured out by myself but not successfully XD

This is what i tried:

I used this code for the due date: {{#issue.fields.fixVersions.first.releaseDate}}{{10d | subtract}}{{/issue.fields.fixVersions.first.releaseDate}}, but it only wrote me the relase date in it. 

Thank your very much and have a great day :)

Hi @Jan Schiemann -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Please try using the minusDays() function on the specific version's date value:

{{issue.fixVersions.first.releaseDate.minusDays(10)}}
