can't sort by scripted field

[Jason Galm]

I have a scripted field that only returns the issues resolution date.

I can't use the result in a JQL statement or even use it as a column to sort by.

I have the search template set to date time picker.

Is there any error? Make sure you have modified a few issues to ensure their value is in the index.

To make new fields work properly you have to reindex every issue associated with the field.

Ahh I forgot you had to reindex when you change the script, that fixed it. Thank you.

I didn't think it was the script because it is litterally one line, return issue.getResolutionDate()
