we are planing to configure a couple of field in jira.

[uday]

We need help in configuring a couple of fields in Jira. We have admin rights. Please let me know if this would be possible.

 1.date to UAT – Field exists. We want this to be auto filled once a story is moved to UAT by Developer

2.Date story moved from “to do” to “In-progress” . we need to create a date field to capture this automatically.

Please let me if there are any chances to do it. Please do needful.

Regards

Uday.

Hi @uday ,

You would need any of the plugins like JWME/script runner/JSU

1. Add a post-fuction to the UAT transition to update/set field value to current date.

2.  Create a new field in your instance - Date story moved

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/adding-custom-fields-1047552713.html

and create a postfuntion as mention in 1, but for To Do --> In Progress.

@uday ,

Use the code in the postfunction

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import java.sql.Timestamp

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def dateCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_12345") // Date time fields require a Timestamp
issue.setCustomFieldValue(dateCf, new Timestamp((new Date()).time))

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Adaptavist-questions/ScriptRunner-How-to-update-current-date-on-custom-field-using-on/qaq-p/697370

customfield_12345 should be custom field id
