How to change the date on a new ticket

[Jean Bien-Aime]

There are many times when we don't have time to enter tickets the same day that the issue occurred.  Is there a way to modify the entered date on a new ticket?  Please advise.

There is not a supported method to change the System field for Created Date/Time. If you wanted to note the original date when the issues was discovered you could record that in a custom Date field.

The posted article is for Jira Server/Data Center. Direct access to the database is not supported for Jira Cloud instances.

To change Created Date/Time in the System field, no method is supported. The posted article is for Jira Server/Data Center; if you wanted to record the original date it was discovered.you could do so in the custom Date field. Jira Cloud instances do not have direct access to the database.

Definitely not interested in the hack but a custom field sounds promising.

Hi @Jean Bien-Aime

Are you referring to the created date of the ticket?

If so, you will have to use a hack which is not recommended or have a new customfield that outlines when the ticket was originally raised.
