How to define bank holidays in the Calendar - Jira Project Manager? 

Defining bank holidays, then tasks can not be due on these dates

Hi @Adriana Ramirez , thanks for your question.

You can configure a custom calendar in the SLA section of the Jira Service Management project.

From the project settings menu, SLAs, if you click on the calendar icon, this will allow you to create or modify an existing calendar, for example to add holiday dates. Then, you can specify which calendar the service level agreements need to respect.

I hope this helps but if not, please give us your feedback and either I or someone else will try to help.

Cheers

I can also highly recommend using this site to get the ics file for whatever country you're in: https://www.officeholidays.com/subscribe/usa

Just change the country after the backslash. I've just added all bank holidays in our various locations in a few clicks to our SLA calendars in JSM. So slick!

I just stumbled across this: (not tested)

Update holidays of all JSM project's calendars via Rest API | Jira | Atlassian Documentation

if you have several calendars and need to update them all, this might be more efficient.
