I want to have built in capability to send reminder email for when issue item due date approaches

[Mayuresh Athalekar]

Jira has capability to set due date for work items, however it fails to make a effective usability of this field since due date field is not providing any indication that set date is approaching via email or reminder.

I want to see a notification bell icon next to due date which i will be able to set while adding due date details. If i opt for notification ON, Jira should sent me a reminder email for work items which are nearing due dates. 

This can also be a global project setting where if as a jira project administrator, i set reminder or notification ON, it will send emails with to users (assignees) an email to remind about completion date.

This could play extremely critical role to send notification for important milestone stories or tasks to users.

Note :

No add-on suggestions please. As a Jira user i want to see this as enhancement request to Atlassian engineering team to introduce or provide solution with inbuilt functions.

Hi @mayuresh athalekar 

Here is an open suggestion to add that feature for Jira Cloud.  I did not find an equivalent one for Jira Core Server, and you could add one.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-70971

In this suggestion, it describes a work-around to do this with a saved filter and subscription which you may implement.  Another option would be to create an Automation for Jira rule, if you have that feature installed.

Kind regards,
Bill
