I have values stored on a document in an Elasticsearch index.
I need to do some date manipulation on the values and return a boolean value to be used in a filter.

You simply need to separate each statement with a semicolon:

"script": {
    "script": "isCompleted = doc['state'].value == 'completed'; preSLA = doc['lastStateUpdate'].value < doc['dueDate'].value; return isCompleted && preSLA;"
    }

Make sure to not add line breaks inside your script string, though, as it would not be valid JSON.
