Both these usage gives error as Invalid Expression: startOfDay(8h) and startOfDay("+8h")

[Gunasekaran N]

I am using Jira Server version 7.5.4 and following is my requirement.

I want to restrict the users/customers to submit requests only between 8:00am and 4:30pm. I was trying to use this Workflow validator for the same Date Expression Compare (JSU) 

Validator1:

• Created >= startOfDay("+8h")
• Including time part

Validator2:

• Created <= startOfDay("+990m")
• Including time part

Please let me know what is the correct usage?

Hi @Gunasekaran N ,

You cannot restrict users/customers to submit requests only between 8:00am and 4:30pm. Either you need to make your Jira down or remove permissions during these times.

The JQLs used will work only for created ticket and it is not the right way to use in the workflow validator. 

Please note: The 'Date Expression Compare' check compares the value of a date field with a date expression (for example, date field must be more recent than actual date). If the check fails, no action will be performed.
