Description

The 'Window Dates' validator checks whether the value of one date field falls within the range (window) of another date field. Note, the date checking is only one-way, i.e. it only looks forwards, not backwards. If the validation fails, the transition will not be completed.

Configuration

You must select the two date fields and the window period, when configuring the transition. For example:
 
For information on how to configure a validator in JIRA, see the JIRA documentation.

Example

A workflow is configured so that the 'Close' transition has the 'Window Dates' validator. The 'Resolved Date' is validated using a window of 5 days with respect to the 'Created Date'. If a user attempts to resolve an issue on this workflow, where the 'Resolved Date' is more than 5 days after the 'Created Date', the validation will fail and the transition will not be completed.
