Changing status based on a date field

[Scott McDonald]

Hello -

Is the following possible via something like the "Block-Unblock transition after issue rested some time in a status" or any other command?

Use Case: Auto switch from status of In Progress to Overdue (workflow step) automatically based on the Planned Completion Date (date field) (so if a ticket passes the date threshold it moves to Overdue).

Thank you,

Scott

It can be done with the help of "Automation Lite for JIRA" free add-on (previously called JIRA Automation plugin). I explain you how to do it step by step:

1) Add Boolean validator with math, date-time or text-string terms validator to transition from In Progress to Overdue with the following boolean expression:

{00057} < {nnnnn}

where nnnnn is field code for Planned Completion Date, or simply use {00012} for Due date JIRA field.

2) Create an Automation Lite for JIRA rule like this one:

The rule will be executed automatically every hour, and will transition any overdue issue.

The validator on step 1 is only necessary to avoid manual execution of the transition when issue is not yet overdue.

Within Automation Lite for JIRA and in the JQL expression, do I want the planned complete date to be less than rather than greater?

Hi @scottjmcdonald,

Yes, you are right use "Planned Completion Date" < now() instead.
