JIRA JQL Search exclude time from Created and Created Date fields

MarkW

Trying to search for issues ordering by create date then a custom field. The problem that occurs is that the secondary order is not done the way the users will want because the created contains a timestamp which could be throwing it off.

I want the issues ordered by date, then I want the platforms (MFB,MFA,MFD) to be grouped together. But my issue results list everything by date as we want but since the time the issues were created is different the platforms aren't grouped together

Example query for the above: project = Test and resolution = unresolved order by created desc, platform desc

Of course you can't order by platform because the issues won't be in chronological order.

Any way to achieve what I need?

Adding as a comment instead of an answer in case this doesn't work - as you've said, the problem is that the Created field is a date & time, so I think your solution would be to create a new Created Date custom field (that is just date as opposed to date & time), and on a post function of the create step in the workflow copy the value of Created to your new custom field, and use that in your query instead. This could be a lot of work, sorry...hopefully someone else will reply with a cleaner and more efficient solution.
