Custom field default value at issue update

[samuel.diogo]

Hi,

I'm working with Jira Software Cloud.

I created a custom field (date picker) and I setted-up the context do get the current date as default value.

This approach works great at ticket creation, but I have a scenario that I only update the custom field at the end of my workflow.

Is there any possibility to fill default value when the user updates the issue (without paid plugin)?

Hi @samuel.diogo ,

This is doable if the custom field is a date+time picker, is it an option to use this type instead of simple date picker?

If so, you can create an "Update Issue Custom Field" post-function on the final transition in your workflow, with the value %%CURRENT_DATETIME%% which will automatically set the current date and time as the field value if the transition is fired.
