Hello,
I get service tickets that can be assigned to different teams along their lives, and I would like to be able to calculate the time spent with each team assigned, considering they can have different calendars.
I've tested Time to SLA but I wasn't able to get what I want. Basically:
- I need a different calculation (whether it's the SLA itself or a goal) depending on the Team field value at a given time; e.g a "Team 1" SLA would typically start and stop when the ticket is assigned to Team 1. I wasn't able to get that with Time to SLA, as the SLA can start when the Team changes value but it's impossible to define which value.
- Each team can have a diffrent calendar, e.g one team can work 24/7 and one other can have office hours
- I need to be able to export the data either in CSV / Json or, even better, with REST APIs
I know a lot of app developers are hanging out here so if your plugin does it, don't hesitate to tell me!
Cheers,
Simon
Hi @slucchesini ,
It sounds like you’ve already explored Time to SLA quite thoroughly and are running into a Jira Cloud limitation: SLA start/stop conditions can react to changes in a value, but you can’t assign a different calendar to each Team value within the same SLA goal.
A Jira Admin can define a global calendar, but that won’t solve this case either — you need a separate calendar per Team.
🌱 If you’re open to a Marketplace app, ChronoFlow - Wait Time Analysis for Jira is designed for this kind of per-Team time tracking:
One detail I’d recommend confirming for your setup: whether the metric can be triggered directly by a change in the Team field, or whether Team needs to map to a status/status-group. If Team can change without a status transition, this distinction is important.
🍀 If you’re looking for a plug-and-play solution that saves you from the "formula headache," feel free to explore the Atlassian Marketplace link I’ve provided or reach out to me for more details. 🍀

Hi Simon,
It's Dilara from Time to SLA, Appfire team! Allow me to help you with your question!
We’re aware of this behavior- the missing 'Team field value is changed to' option- and have already been reviewing it internally. The good news is that our team is working on an improvement, and we expect it to be available very soon.
I’d be happy to share more details about what we’re planning to implement and how it could help with your use case. If you could raise a support ticket using the link below, I’ll be happy to follow up with you directly and assist further:

In addition to this improvement, we’re also working on further enhancements to the Reporting page. These updates will provide more flexible and useful reporting capabilities, particularly when using the Team field. Your feedback is really important to us; we'll be happy to get your opinion to build the best for your case.
We’re looking forward to bringing these improvements to you, and I’d be happy to discuss them in more detail through your support request.
Kind Regards,
Dilara

Hello @slucchesini
SLA Time and Report for Jira could cover most of this use case.
You can configure SLA Start/Stop conditions based on the Team field value, so, for example, one SLA can track only the time when Team 1 is responsible for the ticket. You can also configure different SLA goals based on the team if needed.
For teams with different working hours, we also have a Multiple-scheduler SLA. It allows you to use different work schedules within one SLA configuration, for example, a 24/7 calendar for one team and business hours for another.
For reporting, you can export SLA data to CSV (or PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, XLSX). JSON export isn't currently supported, though – hopefully that's not a blocker for your use case.
In any case, you can give the app a try and see whether the configuration fits your workflow. If you have any questions while testing it, feel free to reach out – happy to help.
Regards!

Hello Alina !
Thank you for your message. I launched a trial - on Advanced edition, as I understand it is required to be able to use calendars - but I'm unable to use the Team field:
Maybe it's not supported?
(I could also be using a Group Picker or an Asset field but apparently they're not supported either.)
Cheers,
Simon

Hi Simon @slucchesini !
Glad to hear that, and thanks for clarifying!
These fields are supported, so I’d like to clarify a couple of things to understand why the Team field isn’t appearing in your SLA configuration.
Could you please check:
Is the Team field added to the issue screen/layout of the same project you selected in the SLA configuration?
Even if you’re using Jira’s global Team field, it still needs to be added to the relevant project screen/layout.
Is this Jira’s standard Team field, or a custom field named “Team”?
If it’s a custom field, could you let me know what field type it uses?
From your screenshots, it looks like the field may simply not be available on the selected project screen rather than being unsupported.
Once we know these two details, I can help you figure out what’s happening.

Hi @slucchesini
You can do all of this (and much more) with our app ScriptGenie for Jira. It will require some scripting but we are happy to help you with that.

Hello Geert,
Unfortunately I already know how to do this via scripts or automations, but I'd like to get something a little more user-friendly for my admins, especially in terms of configuring a calendar and associate it to a team. :)

But this is actually where ScriptGenie shines. You can easily create a custom, user-friendly UI so your admins don't have to touch scripts. Anyway let me know if you need any help with our app.
