Difference between using "-1D" and "1D" in JQL

Question

New to advanced JQL here - hoping you can help me with this question.  When I want to use the days syntax, what is the difference between using "-1D" and "1D"?

For instance, my full JQL is issuetype = "Hardware Refresh" AND status changed FROM OPEN TO ("Awaiting Shipping Notification") AFTER "1D", but it's not returning anything, even though the status on the ticket was changed yesterday.

issuetype = "Hardware Refresh" AND status changed FROM OPEN TO ("Awaiting Shipping Notification") AFTER "-1D" does return that ticket.

Thank you in advance,
Scott

So you would need to create a custom date field to 'record' the date the issue enters the ASN status. This would be done with one rule triggered by transitioning to ASN. Then the second rule would be for adding the comment if the 'entered ASN' date is 10d > created date. Note I'm assuming that the created date works here as the starting point for open status.

With Automation, I'm looking to add a comment 10 days after the issue is transitioned from Open to status "Awaiting Shipping Notification".
