Is it possible to add date field that automatically adds a date when a specific item is chosen?

Bhavik Chauhan July 14, 2023 edited

Hello there,

I'm looking for a way to record the date when a specific option is selected from a dropdown menu. My idea is to utilize a date field that captures this information when the associated custom field transitions to the "sent" status. Can you provide any suggestions on whether this is feasible?

Hi Bhavik,

You should be able to do this with Automation for Jira or ScriptRunner if you have one of them. 

For Automation, create a rule based on either an Issue Transitioned trigger (issue transitioned to Sent status) or a Field Value Changed trigger for the dropdown field. 

Then you capture the date in the custom field.

Hi @Bhavik Chauhan ,

Using Jira Automation you might be able to achieve this :

Above is a small one I tried at my end. It triggers when any Label is changed, and adds the current Date and time to the Custom field using the {{now}} smart value.
