Date diff not working

[Miroslav Kralik]

Hi everyone,

I have a simple formula to get a diff between dates, but it does not seem to be working (no change history even is triggered for updating the Estimated delay field). I am storing the result into a text field. 

Formula: 

{{issue.customfield_10088.diff(issue.customfield_10352).days}}

issue.customfield_10088 -> {"start":"2025-01-31","end":"2025-01-31"}

issue.customfield_10352 -> {"start":"2024-12-11","end":"2025-12-11"}

I tried also {{issue.customfield_10088.toDate.diff(issue.customfield_10352.toDate).days}}, but same result.

Is this an issue in JPD or am I doing something wrong? 

Thanks, Miroslav

Hi @Miroslav Kralik ,

Take a look my suggestion on this other JPD Community Question, which provides an automation to calculate the date differential, and enter it into a number-field.

Hi Nick, thank you. With the variables, it works!

Hi,

Would the IF condition {{smart values}} condition work for you?

I tried that and the IF condition works, but no updates to the Estimated delay field.
