My client wants to be able to create a filter for issues where Field A has been updated in the last 7 days. As Jira doesn't have the ability to filter for updates made to specific custom fields I am trying to set up another date custom field (Field 
and using a ScriptRunner Listener to add the date every time field A is updated.
I have used some of the logic provided in this post: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Scriptrunner-listener-to-update-custom-date-time-field/qaq-p/387444
Specifically, the code below (although have changed the field names as needed).
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
def cfm = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def watch = cfm.getCustomFieldObjectByName("% Complete")
def watchValue = event.issue.getCustomFieldValue(watch)
def updatedWatch = cfm.getCustomFieldObjectByName("% Complete Updated")
def today = new java.sql.Timestamp(new Date().getTime())
if (event.getChangeLog().getRelated('ChildChangeItem').find{ it.field == '% Complete'}){
def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()
updatedWatch.updateValue(null, event.issue, new ModifiedValue(null, today), changeHolder)
}
This seems to be working and whenever I update Field A, Field B is populated with the date. However, when trying to build a JQL search for "Field B" > -7d it is not returning results, and when I try "Field B" is not EMPTY I also get no results. However, if I search for the specific key of an issue with Field B populated I can see the date populated in the column.
As a test, I manually updated Field B with tomorrows date which allows me to search for it in the issue navigator based on "Field B". I then updated Field A again which caused the Listener to update Field B with today;s date and viewing the issue in the issue navigator the date has been updated correctly to today's date. BUT, my JQL searches still seem to read it as tomorrows date, which I entered manually.
The JQL search only seems to be able to interpret the data I have manually entered into the field, and disregards amendments made by the Listener. Have I missed something obvious in the Listener code or is it known behaviour that JQL cannot parse data entered onto a field by a ScriptRunner listener?
