In the task details I have options to set both the start and due dates as well as the beginning and ending of the period. Can some one clarify how Jira uses the period term differently that the start and due dates?
Hi @Dr. Brennan ,Welcome to the Atlassian Community!Jira can be confusing at first. However, here's some clarity on the terms you're asking about:
For "Period date,"- Jira refers to this as a timeframe, usually when you're performing a search or running a report. Here's an example:Start date: December 20, 2023Due date: January 20, 2023Period start date: December 1, 2023Period end date: January 31, 2024This Atlassian article explains more about periods in Jira.
