Automation Rule - Time in Status - Is a configured SLA required for this to work?

[Josh Bray]

My goal is to have a comment added to a request if the Time in Status is lets say 2 days. 

My question is do I need to configure SLAs for this automation rule to work or will it work without configuring SLAs?

Hi Josh,

You will need an SLA.

Hi @Josh Bray - I just wanted to mention another JQL based method to identify issues that have been in a given status in the last two days without an SLA:

status = "In Progress" and status changed AFTER -48h

Thanks Michael (for some reason it isn't letting me tag you) - this will help in the short term while I test out some SLA configs
