This is the documentation for JSU for Jira Server/Data Center. If you are using JSU on Jira Cloud, see our JSU Cloud documentation.
Description
The Date Compare validator compares the values of two date fields on an issue, for example, one field must be greater than the other. If the check fails, no action will be performed.
Configuration
You must select the two date fields and the comparison function for the check.
Example
A workflow is configured so that the Resolve transition has the Date Compare validator set to Resolved Date <= Due Date. If a user attempts to resolve an issue on this workflow, where the Resolved Date is after the Due Date, the check will fail and no action will be performed.
Optional error message
You can define a custom error message for JSU validators to provide a clear explanation of the situation to your users. If you leave this field empty, a default error message from Jira will be displayed on validation errors.
You can configure JSU’s preconditions in the following ways:
Negate the precondition result
Combine the result with the result of previous preconditions using the following options:
Discard the result of the previous precondition: Results of the previous preconditions are not taken into account
AND: All of the preconditions have to be true to execute the post function
OR: Only one of the preconditions has to be true to execute the post function
