How can I sort expired tasks with JQL?

Question

I want to sort tasks with expired due date but I do not prefer to do it with status!=done AND due date < now(). So I tried this JQL in the below:

However, it did not work. How can I compare due date and resolved date to sort expired issues even it is done now.

I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks.

Hi @mauricio.groth

Thank you for your reply. Is there any free app for this function you can recommend?

Hi @Özge Özgenç

I’m Maurício, a support engineer at Appfire and I’m here to help you.

Unfortunately, using JQL of Jira, you’ll not be able to do it dynamically.

In the app where my team works, JQL Search Extensions for Jira, you can use this query to find all tasks with expired due date:

issue in dateCompare("duedate < resolved") and project = IT and type = Task and Sprint = 1019 Order By due ASC

Please contact our support if you have any other questions about this query.

We’ll be happy to help you!

Best regards,

Maurício

Hello @Özge Özgenç

Jira does not natively support comparing fields to other fields as part of JQL. In order to do that you would need a third party app.

You might be able to use a custom field to keep track of whether or not the due date is less than the resolved date, using an automation rule to set the field, and then write a JQL with criteria for the custom field.
