Allow variable usage within variables

      In an automation rule, if a user creates a variable var1 and uses it in another variable as -

      {{triggerissue.duedate.plusBusinessDays({{var1}})}}

      The var1 is not accepted as a valid value.

      It would be great to have the first variable get accepted as a valid value.

            Greetings!

            The example shown in the description is incorrect as it has extraneous double-curly brackets and does not convert the variable with the asNumber function.  Assuming the var1 shown is an integer number, the expression could be this:

            {{triggerIssue.duedate.plusBusinessDays(var1.asNumber)}}

             

            To learn more about how to user variables as numbers for various smart value expressions, please see this community article I wrote on the topic:
