Description

The 'Date Expression Compare' validator compares the value of a date field with a date expression (for example, date field must be more recent than actual date). If the validation fails, the transition will not be completed.

Configuration

You must select the date field, the comparison condition, the date expression itself, and optional whether to include the time part for comparison. For example:

For information on how to configure a validator in JIRA, see the JIRA documentation.

Example

A workflow is configured so that the 'Resolve' transition has the 'Date Expression Compare' validator where 'Due Date' > '5d'. If a user attempts to resolve an issue on this workflow, where the 'Due Date' is less than 5 days from now, the validation will fail and the transition will not be completed.

Supported Field Types

JSU supports many different field types such as system fields and custom fields. However you should be aware, that not all field types are supported, and not in all combinations. We aim to cover the most important field types and are continuously adding and improving how different field types are supported. Some custom fields of other third-party apps might never be supported. You should always test anything you do with issue fields with JSU. You can try it with a free 30-day evaluation license.
