What is the best way to handle future tasks in jira?

Martin Pastírik

Hi,

I was wondering what would be the best way to add a task that will not be relevant for quite some time in a way where it will not be showing up everywhere until it is due?

For example I need to schedule a certificate update in a few years from now, but I do not want to see the issue until it starts to become relevant.

Interesting question. I would do one of two things:

• create a future tasks project in place of issues in there that you don’t wish to see. Then I would use automation or some scripting to monitor the due date and move to the appropriate project once it’s time.
• create a unique status “future” in your current project. Configure all boards and filters to exclude this status. Again use Automation to move the issue to a new status like To Do when appropriate.
