SLA targets can’t differ by priority within one queue

Setting different response times per priority means juggling multiple SLAs and queues instead of one clean rule.

The problem

Giving a Critical ticket a tighter target than a Low one inside the same queue is awkward in Jira Service Management, pushing teams into tangled SLA calendars and extra queues.

Who runs into this

Service desks that run priority-based response and resolution targets.

How Patcher fixes it

Patcher lets a single SLA hold per-priority targets, so one rule covers Critical through Low without duplicating queues or calendars.

We wrote a workaround script, but it breaks on every Jira update. Not sustainable.

Our admins get complaints about this weekly. Adding our +1 and a link to our internal ticket.

This should be classified as a bug, not a “suggestion”. It’s clearly broken behaviour.
