Trying to add Due Date to JPD

Question

I am trying to add a Due Date date field to my JPD project and when I add the field it notifies me:

A field with the same name already exists for this project.

When I search for the field I have 0 results. I need to be able to add a Due Date field so we can see if we can use either Advanced Roadmaps or Planyway so our executives can see a high level roadmap.

I want to add to this question - I'm trying to add a custom field of type Date to JPD (which is not a problem) but when I'm trying to query it won't regard this field as a date (won't allow me to use <, > etc options) but rather regard it as a string (giving only options like ~ and such).

I'm trying to add a field of Due Date and then have a chart that shows items that are close to the due date, or have passed it.

Thanks

@Hermance NDounga perhaps you can help?

Due Date is a reserved field name in Jira. You can use the Project Target which is exactly what you are looking for.

You can also create a custom field with a slighly different name like "Project Due Date"
