Creating a "Staleness" quotient

Abel Lineberger

This is technically in Product Discovery but is using automation to happen, thus Jira Software.

The goal is to create a quotient for how stale a given issue is.  Given that number then I can key certain actions once thresholds are met.

Current automation:

1. When: Scheduled
2. Issue Type equals: Idea
3. Then: Edit issue fields: Staleness
   {{#=}}{{now.diff(issue.updated).days.abs}} / 100{{/}}
   
   

That works, but I am thinking that I want to add a few more factors.  Maybe target date?  Maybe weighting by value?  Any thoughts?

Well crap.  This doesn't work as the action itself updates the issue.  Grrrr.
