How can I query for JIRAs that a specific field is updated within five days of creation?

[Barbara Johnson]

I have a custom field that is a drop down list, that the project lead for the project must update with a specific value within five days of the JIRA creation.  

I would like to query those issues that are not getting updated within the required time period.

Dear @Barbara Johnson,

project = <your project key> AND createdDate < -5d and <your custom field name> is EMPTY

copy/paste this into your "search issues" Advanced view and adapt to your values.

So long

Thomas
