Is there a smart value for merged date?

[Danielle Bonneau]

Hello!

I'm trying to create some release train automation, and need a way of accessing the date a PR was merged.  I'm not seeing this in the documentation.  Does anyone know of way to get this info?

thanks!

Hi @Danielle Bonneau 

I do not believe that is available to automation rules except when the Pull Request Merged trigger fires.

There is an open suggestion to improve the available smart values for the development-related triggers here: https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-1997

A couple of work-arounds could be to save the information when the PR Merge trigger fires (e.g. in a custom field or comment), or to check for a REST API method in your source control tool and call that with a web request from a rule.

Kind regards,
Bill
