Only allow a status change if a set time has passed since the last status change

Question

Hi,

One of my stakeholders would like a condition set on some of the statutes on their workflow, ie can only move to status 3 if they have been in status 2 for a week, then only move to status 4 if been in status 3 for a day.

Is there anyway to add a condition in the workflow for this.  We have scriptrunner plugin

They would also like to set the due date at the same time, so they know when it can move to the next status

We are on Data Centre

Yes, a condition in the workflow is simple to add and write, edit the workflow, find the transition, hit the conditions list and add one.  Select scripted condition and you'll be able to edit the script.

A condition just needs to return a true or false to Jira (true = "allow the transition"), so there's not a lot of calculation needed.
