Setting due dates based on the parent epics due date

[Jordan Sparkes]

I am working on generating tasks automatically as an action in an epic, i would like to set a tasks due date based on the parent epic's due date. Everything I have tried is not working.

Hi @Jordan Sparkes 

For a question like this, context is important for the community to help.  Please post the following:

• what type of project is this: company-managed, team-managed, JPD, etc.
• an image of your complete automation rule in a single image for continuity
• images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches
• an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution
• explain what is not working as expected and why you believe that to be the case

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Jordan Sparkes 

You can use automation for jira and use smartvalue in duedate field. Ex if Tasks are created from the Epic.

{{triggerIssue.duedate.plusDays(14)}}

Automation smart values - date and time | Cloud automation Cloud | Atlassian Support

I need the due date of the child to be automatic set as the due date of the parent epic when the action is run. I don't think the above smart field won't work

You want the due date of the Task to be set as due date of the epic ?

[Jordan Sparkes]

I do yes, I have about 30 subtasks and maybe 10 of them need the due date to the same as the Epics due date, this action is run a week after the epic is created so I don't think the trigger issue works as the trigger is an action.
