Can I set Assignee to custom field in parent and set duedate to current +#

[Jenifer Kuntz]

I am creating subtasks and trying to do 2 things 

1. Parent issue has user picker custom field, I want this field to be used to set the assignee.
2. I want the due date to be set to a date in the future - current date + 2days.

Is this possible using advanced Fields?

Thanks!

Hi Jenifer,

Yes you can do that. 

To set the assignee using the value of a user custom field. 

{
    "fields": {
        "Assignee": {"name": "{{issue.fields.My User Picker}}"}
    }
}

To set due date to current date + 2 days. Select the due date field in the edit issue action, and add this: 

{{#now}}func=plusDays(2){{/now}}

Hi Scott,

Can the due date be set to a custom date field in the parent +2 days?   

Thanks!

Hi Jenifer,

See our working with dates docs.  You can also use other date fields in smart values. Something like this should do the trick:

{{#issue.parent.fields.Other Date field}}func=plusDays(2){{/}}

Thank you!  I was looking at the Advanced Fields, totally missed the Smart fields and Working with Dates.

This add-on has been a life saver!  Review to come shortly!
