In case if there is a need to use dynamically calculated data, we developed a set of system variables that can help with this task. These variables are used just as straightforward as regular variables.

At this point in time, the list of system variables include:

Date and Time

  • $today - today date

  • $tomorrow - tomorrow date

  • $time - current time

  • $dateTime - current date ant current time

  • $nextWeek - date a week after today

Current User

  • $username - the user who is applying the hierarchy

  • $userEmail - email of the user who is applying the hierarchy

Current Issue Details

  • $projectKey - the key of the project where the issue will be created

  • $projectName - the name of the project where the issue will be created

  • $projectLeadName - the leader of the project where the issue will be created

  • $issueKey - the key issue that will be created

Parent Issue Details

  • $parentKey - the key of the parent issue

  • $parentSummary - the summary of the parent issue

  • $parentDescription - the key of the parent issue

  • $parentIssueType - the issue type of parent issue

  • $parentStatus - the status of the parent issue

  • $parentPriority - the priority of the parent issue

  • $parentDueDate - the due date of the parent issue

As it was already mentioned before, variables - are placeholders that are automatically filled with data that is available at the moment of the Issue creation.
