Date diff between two date fields in jira

[Anuradha Yadav]

I am doing a automation which says as below:

If a target end date is greater than due date, report slippage (adding label)

Please help its urgent

Hi Anuradha,

Can you share the rule that you have so far?

[Anuradha Yadav]

@John Funk  please help

[John Funk]

Your condition looks too complicated. Why not just compare the two fields? 

[Anuradha Yadav]

Yes I need to compare and if its more then 30days then I want label - "MonthlyCommitmentCarryover" can you help? BUT I see I do not have advance compare condition in automation in our Jira. Is there any other way?

[John Funk]

I would do those as separate steps. Create a variable and populate with the value from the diff. Then do your condition for the variable being over that value.
