Hi @Alfred Tsang , welcome to the Community.

you can create a custom field (number) and use the following to calculate age and update the field.

 {{issue.created.diff(now).days}}

The rule would look like this....

An alternative is to simply use a smart value to increment the number in the field. Check the docs for syntax if desired.

It's worth noting that @Jack Brickey's suggestion refers to using Jira Automation to periodically update the field.

That's done it, thanks!

Support gave me the same resolution with the added detail of using a JQL to filter the ideas first.
