Key highlights of the appArchive issues automatically with scheduled JQL rules

hero

JQL rules that archive on autopilot

Define an archiving rule with any JQL filter, set it to run daily or weekly, and every run gets logged — no manual cleanup, no lost history.

Build a rule in plain JQL, no plugin syntax

Name the rule, write the filter, pick a schedule — if you already know JQL, you already know how to use this.

Every run recorded, manual or scheduled

See exactly when each rule ran, what triggered it, and how many issues were archived — a complete, timestamped audit trail.

More details

Retention Policy keeps Jira projects clean without anybody remembering to do it. An administrator writes a rule once — a name, a JQL filter, a schedule — and the app applies it from then on, logging every run.

Rules are written in JQL: one free-text field per rule, not separate drop-downs. That is what lets a rule express project, status, resolution, age or label in any combination. Preview shows the match count before you save.

What "archiving" means depends on your plan. Jira's native bulk-archive API is Premium-only. The app tries it first and on Standard falls back to a workflow transition into a status whose name contains "Archived" — so on that plan your workflow needs such a status before a rule can do anything. The log records which route each run took.

Scheduled jobs run once a day, so a rule fires on or after its due date, up to 100 issues per run. Managing rules needs Jira admin rights. Built by Ballon Apps, in English.
