It's a frequently requested feature of my colleauges that one can define a notification event for issues with a due date = today + X days.

BTW: I like the new features in JIRA 3.0.x Enterprise Edition, such as multiple dashboards, sub-tasks and many more, very much. Big step, this release!

Problem Definition

It would be great to have a notification (email, pop-up) when an issue is nearing due date.

Suggested Solution

Add an event in the notification scheme which can send the notification for required users.

Workaround

• Create a Filter.
• Define and run your search. Below is the sample JQL query to obtain the issues that are past due date.

• project= {Mention the project} and  duedate <= now()
  

  You can edit the JQL to customize it with Issue type, status etc with respect to the requirement.

  project = SOF and  issuetype = bug and  status="In Progress" AND duedate <= now()
  

• Subscribe to the filter
