Find issue collisions

[Sebastian Krzewiński]

Hi All

My company needs is to create issues in Jira where each issue will present one technical break. Each issue have two date/time fields where users need to add start and finish of technical break.

I want to find solutions to catch issues where two or more technical breaks are set on the same time.

Do you know something which will cover my needs?

Regards,

Seba

I'd develop a Groovy script for this and run that in every 5 minutes or something:

• load all technical breaks (or just the "open" ones to reduce the work)
• iterate over those and maintain a list of time periods
  • test if the start date is within any existing time period? if yes -> problem, add a label "xyz" to the issue
  • test if the end date is within any existing time period? if yes -> problem, add a label "xyz" to the issue
  • add the time period defined by start and end date of the current break to the list

Please I'd create a saved filter that searches for the issues with "xyz". You could put that list to a dashboard and even subscribe people to it!
