Jira timebased Query "calculation"

[it_marcapo]

Hey guys,

is it possible to create an jql-filter for the following case?

Issue which was in status XY and the duedate was <5d on the time it changed the status to XY.

Issue that was in status XY and the duedate was <5d  -  is easy.

But the calculation from the duedate should be taken at the moment when it comes to "status XY" and not now.

Is here the end of jira syntax? theoretically all needed data should be in the system.

Thx for help!

Hi @it_marcapo  - You would probably need to create a custom date field that captures the value of the date when it is moved to XY status. Then you would be able to compare the dates using Automation.

Means that it isnt possible without workaround like you describe?

Not that I am aware of. 

@Bill Sheboy  - Thoughts?

Hi @it_marcapo and @John Funk 

As John notes, you could start capturing that information with a scripting add-on or automation rule to store in a custom field, and then query it in the future. 

But for prior occurrences, I am unclear how you would do that without a direct database query or some form of marketplace add-on.  I am not currently savvy on the data model for server version so I cannot help with such a query.  Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Best regards,

Bill
