Hi @Vinay Sharma ,

What format are you trying to achieve here?

You can reference this documentation: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/jira-smart-values-date-and-time-993924864.html, this has a list of predefined formats that might suit your needs, else the custom format that @Humashankar VJ mentioned should work for give the date in this format "2024-11-24"

Hi @Vinay Sharma,

In JMWE you can use new Date() to get the current date.

JMWE provides hints on the Expected Value tab, you can check them to get example values ​​for each field type:

Kindly try correcting the date format and give a try to keep moving
