How to report on if a workflow status has been reached and how many times

[Nagaraju Reddy]

How to report on if a workflow status has been reached and how many times.  For example:  A workflow in project ABC is “To Do” -> “In Progress” -> “Testing” <-> “Done”.  Issue ABC-100 is currently in “Done” status.  Is there a way to report on how many times issue DEF-100 has been in “Testing” status?

Hi,

this is not possible with plain Jira.

A possible solution might be:

• define a number-custom field "testing counter", default value is "0"
• Change every transition which ends in status "testing", so that it increments the value of field "testing counter" 

To increment the counter, you need an additional app. We are using Jira Misc Workflow Extensions for that but there might also be others.

You can get the value of this field in a simple JQL-Query.
