What would be the smart value to set a Due Date 14 days or 2 weeks prior to a custom date field?

[Has M.]

I am trying to set up the Due Date via automation to 2 weeks or 14 days prior to another custom date field. I google and found: {{triggerissue.customfield_10072.minus(14)}} but that didn't work.

The value for the custom date field is from another ticket which is linked to the ticket that I am trying to update.

So basically. I am trying to set the Due Date as CustomDateField - 14.

Can there be a smart value for the jira automation for this?

Hi @Has M. 

You appear to be missing the units of measure, such as days, in your expression.  Please try this:

{{triggerIssue.customfield_10072.minusDays(14)}}

If that does not work, please describe the type of your custom field.  Is it date, date/time, text, etc.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks for your response, Bill. I tried above and it didn't work.

the custom field type is a date field

Would you please post images of your entire rule and of the audit log details showing the rule execution?  Those may provide some context for what is happening.
