JSU for Jira Server/Data Center

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.

Example configuration of the Date Compare validator as described on this page.

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.
