| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Fixed                  | <p>Specific date </p><p>For example 25/Mar/21</p>                                                                                                                                                           |
| Dynamic                | <p>The Date calculation based on the create issue date and provided shift. Valid values are: m (represents minute(s)), h (hour), w (weeks).</p><p>For example: "1w" means "Created date plus 1 week"). </p> |
| Next Execution Time    | <p>Date of the next execution. </p><p>For manual trigger type, nothing will be set.</p>                                                                                                                     |
