Features used to implement the example

• Set a field as a function of other fields

Example: Set a date based on current date

In this example a date will be set based on a choice in a custom field and the current date.

Based on a custom field (select list) with optoins "monthly" and "quarterly" another custom date field "Time limit" should be set.

Case 1: Selecting "monthly"

By selecting this option, the custom date field "Time limit" will be set to the last day of the next month.

Case 2: Selecting "quarterly"

The field "Time limit" will be set to the last day of the quarter.

Example: Creating the issue on 22/Feb will set "Time limit" to 31/Mar.

Note: For this example 2 custom fields are needed:

• Custom select list (single choice) "Frequency" with options [monthly, quarterly]
• Custom date picker "Time limit"

For this we need the post function Set a field as a function of other fields. The configuration looks like the following:

Text to be parsed is:

(Monthly)lastDayOfTheMonth(addMonths({00057}, 1, LOCAL), LOCAL)
[month({00057}, LOCAL) in [{JANUARY}, {FEBRUARY}, {MARCH}]]dateTime(year({00057}, LOCAL), 3, 31, 0, 0, LOCAL)
[month({00057}, LOCAL) in [{APRIL}, {MAY}, {JUNE}]]dateTime(year({00057}, LOCAL), 6, 30, 0, 0, LOCAL)
[month({00057}, LOCAL) in [{JULY}, {AUGUST}, {SEPTEMBER}]]dateTime(year({00057}, LOCAL), 9, 30, 0, 0, LOCAL)
[month({00057}, LOCAL) in [{OCTOBER}, {NOVEMBER}, {DECEMBER}]]dateTime(year({00057}, LOCAL), 12, 31, 0, 0, LOCAL)

Note that:

• {00057} is field code for field "Current date and time"

Once configured, the transition will look like this:
