Jira smart values - date and time | last day of previous month

[Jens Hoffmann]

Dear all,

which smart value can I use to display the last day of the previous month?

Unfortunately, this section did not help me because I always want to select {{now.lastOfTheMonth(now.minusMonths(1))}}. But I think a nesting does not work

Set the day component of the date

{{now.endOfMonth}}
{{now.startOfMonth}}
{{now.firstBusinessDayOfMonth}}
{{now.lastBusinessDayOfMonth}}

// Parameters: day of week (1-7) 
{{now.firstOfTheMonth(1)}}
{{now.lastOfTheMonth(1)}}

// Parameters: nth of month (1-5), day of week (1-7)
{{now.ofTheMonth(2, 1)}}

Thanks a lot and kind regards, 

Jens

Hi @Jens Hoffmann - Have you tried this?

{{now.startofMonth.minusDays(1)}}

Thanks Mark, output is 2023-07-31T06:39:37.5+0000

i set than

 {{now.startofMonth.minusDays(1).format("dd.MM.yyyy")}}

 for german format. 

Great :)
