Difference between 2 dates in days

[Tehmina Aslam]

I have 2 fields Due date and Modified Due date. I want to get the difference between these two dates in days. 

I tried the following formula: 

{{[issue.Due date.diff(issue.Modified Due date).days}}

Then I tried even the Field ID:

{{[issue.Due date.diff(issue.customfield_10837).days}}

But that still does not work, The rule runs successfully but the field Lag time is never updated with value.

Can you copy the calculation in smart variable and then use that smart variable to update the issue? i think it should help resolve the issue.

Also there looks to be an extra [ bracket before Issue. That is not needed

Thanks man, there was an extra bracket :D 

{{issue.Due date.diff(issue.modifiedDueDate).days}}
