Duedate default value when creating issue

[Atis Slisans]

Is it possible to set default value for Duedate on Create Issue Screen?

For example - Due Date would be +3 days from today.

 var yyyy=today.getFullYear();

 if(mm<10){mm='0'+mm};
 today=dd+'.'+mm+'.'+yyyy;

 dueDateField = AJS.$("#duedate");

Hi adminltt,

The feature seem not available in current JIRA. I notice there is feature request raise to our Atlassian developer to wok on it. You could refer to this ticket JRA-11770. I sugges you to vote on it for popularity of issue and add yourself as watch list to keep you updated in future. Good Luck

I don't see JIRA-11770 as providing the solution that this person is asking about. I'm also interested in having the Due Date selector open with a default that automatically looks at the date value of "today" and automatically defaults to "add" days to that value.

My problem is that users can currently select a due date in the past and JIRA accepts it. As a workaround, having a default that is 3 days in the future would at least point them in the right direction.

Agree, that ticket does not address being able to assign a default value to the system field duedate, +2 weeks or whatever your choice is.  It is now closed.  

A workaround would be to create another duedatex field as a custom field and use that field but that would involve having to go back into your system and remove the duedate and then insert your custom duedatex field in its place.  

I personally don't like workarounds especially for simple fixes.  This should be a simple implementation of a feature to set defaults to the system fields as well as custom fields.

I just installed Quick Sub-Tasks, which gives a way to create multiple sub-tasks fast. The syntax there for a due date would be, for example, "@now+2w". That is what I was expecting to see in setting the default value for a custom date picker field, but alas, only "current date" or a particular date are available.
