1. Configure trigger

Create a new trigger → Field value changed

  • Field to monitor for changes: Choose due date

  • Change type: Any changes to the field value

 

2. Get the authorization token

Add the steps “Get the Projectrak JWT” and then “Store the JWT in a variable“, described at this link: https://deiser-apps.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROJECTRAKCLOUD/pages/1641490/How+to+create+a+Projectrak+authorization+in+Automation+for+Jira?src=search

Important:
If you don’t have already created a Projectrak API token , you have to do so as described in the first steps of the above link. If you have already got it, you can reuse it.

 

3. Get the field object

Add component → New action → Send a web request

For this example, our End date field from Projectrak has the id: 2870

 Replace using your id

  • Web request URL: https://profields-cloud.deiser.com/values/projects/{{issue.project.id}}/fields/2870

  • Headers:

    • Content-Type: application/json

    • Authorization: Bearer {{projectrakJwt}}  → Defined in step 2

  • HTTP method: GET

  • Web request body: Empty

  • Check: Delay execution of subsequent rule actions until we've received a response for this web request

4. Store the field object in a variable

Add component → New action → Create variable

  • Variable name: projectEnddate

  • Smart value: {{webResponse.body.value.value}}

5. Compare dates between the project and the current issue

Add component → New condition → Advanced compare condition

  • First value: {{issue.duedate}}

  • Condition: grater than

  • Second value: {{projectEnddate}}

6. Update issue field with project value

Add component → New action → Send a web request

For this example, our End date field from Projectrak has the id: 2870

 Replace using your id

[ { "fieldId": 2870, "value": "{{issue.duedate}}" } ]

  • Check: Delay execution of subsequent rule actions until we've received a response for this web request
