Setting due dates in JIRA for every transition

Question

Hi All,

Can we set the due dates in JIRA for every workflow transition.

Please correct me if I am wrong but I don't see this feature available out of the box.

Therefore, could you please give me some pointers to add this feature by using a plug-in or programatically.

Thanks

SKumar

There's lots of examples under https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Script+Runner- I've not got one to hand myself

Could you please provide me some sample script which I try to handle due dates.

Not really, because your rules for setting a due date are probably very very different from anyone else's.

There's no quick function for this, but there are some add-ons which provide post-functions (post-functions are mostly used to update data as issues go through transitions) that could be used to set due-dates.  But for the most flexibility, I'd simply install the script-runner plugin - that lets you create post-functions with a minimum of coding and they can be edited in-place as well.
