I'm not sure, since your description isn't that detailed, but it sounds like you'd want to build a custom field plugin that does some calculations based on time tracking.

Perhaps you could use the Database field plugin?

I think I cant use it as I am using jira 4.4.4 and its not compatible with it.

To clarify I just want to set a milestone date for each issue or sub-task under the issue and send notification when that timeis lapsed.

Why not just use the due date field? http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Scheduling+an+Issue

Then, you can use JQL to see those issues, and subscribe to a filter with search syntax like this:

duedate >= now()

Perfect Jeremy,

Thanks for the answer. But now what I want to do is to change the color of due date on each issue if it crosses expected due date and is still not closed or unresolved.
