Automate Fix Version based on Due Date

[Kavya N Murthy]

I want to have the fix version auto populate by extracting the "YYYY-MM" from the due date. Eg: if the due date is 2022/02/15 then I want the fix version to be updated as 2022-02. I tried doing it using smart values, the audit log says success but the field value is not updated.

Hi @Kavya N Murthy 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

I have reproduce this issue and to resolve this issue you need to create a version first in your project like 2022-01,2022-02 ..... 2022-12. I have tested this with description field same you can do this with due date

If this version is not present in the project already then it will not work.

If this version already present then automation rule will pick it up as per due date.

Please accept the answer if it helps.

Thanks,
Sachin

Hello Sachin,

Thanks for your reply. The fix version has been already added but it is not picking up the value. Also I tried changing the due date to other fields to check if it works but the fix version field is not update with any (eg: summary, key, status..etc). I am not sure why this is happening.

@Kavya N Murthy ,

I have done same thing with the description field - If i put the 1.0 in the description field while creating issue then fix version will be set as 1.0 values.

It may be issue with your smart value. Can you try with description field

{{issue.fields.description}} - This is the smart value i have given. It works fine

If it works for you then check with you smart value

Thanks,
Sachin
