Due Date suddenly stopped working correctly

Question

Due Date has always been optional on project, it was to allow users to update if request was long dated.  There is little to no automation on project, especially nothing is in place concerning a due date. Time to resolution SLA is 2 business days; in settings, under time to resolution SLA, the Goal is 2 days. Recently the due date started populating 6-7 days from created date OR not populate at all.  I thought the SLA was driving the due date but the Time to Resolution clock is still tracking items correctly.  Any thoughts on what could be causing this?  Am I supposed to have automation for the due date?  How was it populating without automation?

Hi @Robert Ortega

You may want to check your Jira settings to see how many hours a working day has. Maybe this was adjusted so that 2 business days (I imagine this means 16 hours within your operation hours) is actually 6-7 days ahead because someone defined a work day as 2-3 hours or something?
Just a wild idea, have not tested this.

Trying to but there are......challenges.  So I've resorted to "outsourcing" some of my questions.  This has been a good format for unbiased and creating answers.

Have you talked to your site admin to learn if any scripting/addons might be doing this?
