Hi Team,

Any possibilities of  capturing the Issue(To do) transition date to date field called ' Actual date' .

Thanks,

Hi @kedar ,

Use the JMWE's Set issue fields and add the below script to set the Actual Date field

issue.getFieldHistory("status").last().created

 This script will capture the transition date of the current transition that is being performed.

Thanks,

Reshma

Hi @kedar 

Yes it is possible. You might need a 3rd party app (like JMWE, JWT, JSU or similar) to do that on server, or automation for jira. Do you have any of these?

Yes I'm having JMWE and Automation Jira in jira cloud

@kedar excellent! So:

• Go to project settings > Workflows
• Edit your workflow transition you want by clicking the pencil icon
• Scroll up and click on "diagram" and then click the desirable transition
• Click "Post functions" on the pop up which will appear
  
• "Add post function" > "Set issue fields (JMWE app)" > Add
• Choose your field, and enter on the code snippet {{now}} > Add
  
  
• Click "Add"
• Click publish on the transition

Try it out and let me know if that works!
