Copy value to Custom field

[Yakov Melman]

Hello,

We'd like to add a "Due date" field and copy the "Sprint End" value to this field once we move a ticket in the Sprint. How can we do that? Thank you in advance.

Hi @Yakov Melman , First off are you wanting to use the existing due date field or create a new one? If the latter, please be sure to use something other than "due date" since that is already a system field. Either way you should use automation to copy the date field. Below is what I think should work however I have not specifically tested this.

• trigger - sprint started
• condition - optional but might be desired
• action - edit issue to set 'Due Date' to {{sprint.endDate}}  

if this is what you are looking for give it a go and let me know if it works.

Hi @Jack Brickey 

I can see the following error when I'm trying to publish the rule:

Error

• The rule has been configured with components that require issues to be provided by the trigger. To run these components you must add a branch for this sprint or JQL. The following components require issues: Edit issue

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Like the error indicates you should use a "Branch". Actually the link to the post that Walter provided below illustrates this. Give that a try and if you still have issues let me know. I created the following "untested" example for you. You probably should further qualify the JQL to restrict to your project to ensure you are not taking action on issues that should not be.

Hi @Yakov Melman,

Have a look at this related question, where Bill shares the smart values you can use in automation to set the right values: {{sprint.endDate}} 

Hope this helps!
