Highlight Overdue Issues on a jira dashboard using the filter issue gadget?

[Warren McInnes]

Hi, I saw a post

http://blogs.onresolve.com/2009/11/highlight-overdue-issues/

That interested me, but seems outdated now?

We are currently using JIRA 5.2.1 and would like to know if anyone has had success with add this cool feature?

And how would i go about it?

import com.atlassian.jira.util.I18nHelper

import com.atlassian.jira.web.bean.I18nBean

import com.atlassian.jira.web.util.OutlookDate

def outlookDateManager = componentManager.outlookDateManager

def user = componentManager.jiraAuthenticationContext.getLoggedInUser()

I18nHelper i18nBean = new I18nBean(user)

OutlookDate outlookDate = outlookDateManager.getOutlookDate(i18nBean.getLocale())

def dueDate = issue.getDueDate()

def now = new Date()

if (dueDate) {

def dueDateText = outlookDate.formatDatePicker(dueDate)

if (now > dueDate) {

return "<div style='color:red;'><b>" + dueDateText + "</b></div>"

} else {

return "<div style='color:green;'>" + dueDateText + "</div>"

}

} else {

return null

}

Nowadays I'd recommend using a JIRA Agile board and different card colors using JQL that finds overdue issues

hi Warren,

Create a filter

Try

status = Open and status was Open BEFORE startOfDay("-2d")

or

duedate < now()

What I'm looking for is the colour feature, Where the more overdue it is the darker the colour gets... Is this posible?
