Check if the ticket passed in certain status

[Jader Peixoto Volkmer]

Hi dears, 

I would like to create a filter to use on a Dashboard where I would like to know if the ticket passed in certain status in the workflow.

For example, the ticket maybe CLOSED but in its life cycle it passed in certain status, for exemple, "Reproved by QA". Is there a way to test if the ticket passed in the REPROVED BY QA status?

Thanky you,

Jader

JQL by itself cannot query a ticket’s full status history, so you can’t directly filter issues that *once* passed through “Reproved by QA” unless that status change was recorded in a searchable field. In Jira Cloud, the standard approach is to use the `status WAS` operator, which checks historical values stored in the issue change log. For example, a filter like `status WAS "Reproved by QA"` will return any issue that had that status at any point in its lifecycle, regardless of its current status ([JQL keywords](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/jql-keywords/)).
