Issues created using transition to issuetype

[Broussard, Anna]

I want to create a chart showing stories created by week. Rather than using 'issues->created at', I want to count when issues have transitioned issuetype to 'story'. This should count new stories created that week as well as other things like questions or tasks that started out not as stories some time int he past but changed to be story. I want to count these transitions from other types to story as created at the week when the transition happens. Is there a way to use issue history? I tried looking at issue history field but I don't see a transition history for my change from 'question' to 'story'.

Hi @Broussard, Anna 

You can build such a report in eazyBI.

You can define a new measure Transitions to Stories with a formula like this:

(
  [Measures].[Transitions to issues count],
  [Transition Field].[Issuetype],
  [Issue Type].[Story]
)

This will capture all the Story issues at the point of creation or transition to the Story type.

You can then use this measure to filter the issues in the report.

Use the Time dimension to filter the report by a specific time period.

You can get eazyBI for Jira in the Atlassian Marketplace or the Apps > Explore more apps section in Jira.

Let me know if you have any additional questions on this or eazyBI that I can help with!

Hi Nauris, I've played around with eazyBI and I think this is an extremely flexible tool. I will check out this method as well as the in-Analytics method to compare. Thanks!

Hey @Broussard, Anna ,

Thank you for your question. We keep track of field values in the Issue History table. If an issue undergoes a transition from one issue type to another, you should look for the "issuetype" field in the "Field" column and compare the previous and current values.

Here's an example of how you can approach this. In this example, I'm filtering based on both the previous and current values. You can adapt this method to fit your specific use case.

Let us know if you have any questions. 

Thanks,

Arumugam

Hi Arumugam, I was able to use the method you suggested. It's a little more work to get the information I need (to get both the transition from an existing issuetype as well as all new stories), but do-able. Thanks for the suggestion.
