How to filter all current year issue and previous month

[serge calderara]

Dear all,

I try to build to build a filter which is suppose to return all issue from current year 2021.

For doing so, I add to the end of my Jql script the following created >= -365d

But this return records which has been also created in 2020, what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks for help

regards

Hello @serge calderara 

If you want to retrieve all issue of the current year you can use this :

created >= startOfYear()

hello @Mohamed Benziane , thanks that works.

by the way if I need to retrive issue from previous month what will be the syntax ?

Let say that if current month is february, I would like the filter of only month january.

is tehre any prevMonthofYear() ?

You can use the startOfMonth() function.

This one should work for you :

startofmonth(-1)

In your scenario if you want to go back until December you will replace "-1" by "-2" and so on.

Your JQL is looking for "date larger than or equal to 365 days ago", it's not looking at calendar years.

You should look to the calendar functions, start of/end of, day, week, month and year.

For this one, I think I'd use

created > startOfYear()

(If you wanted to include last year, you'd use "created > startOfYear(-1)" )
