Hi, is there a way to filter (JQL) where the start date is today?

Question

Hi Team,

I am trying to create an automation which would send email notifications on a start date of a task, as a reminder.

I know I have to use Schedule to run a JQL query. However, I am unable to use the start date in this query.. I can choose the 'Custom start date' field, but it's not the one that is used in the roadmaps and gantt charts..

Am I missing something or the only way is to copy the date to the 'custom' field and then base the automation on that one?

Thanks

Can you please go to Issues -> Customfields -> Search your Start Date field -> Click Edit button and check the search template? Change the template if it is available.

Thanks for your quick answer.

I have tested the search "Start date[Date]" >= startOfDay() and "Start date[Date]" <= endOfDay() and Jira says that this field is not searchable.

Is that the settings of our company's Jira that don't allow this field to be searched or is that a general thing?
