How to track status changes on a specific issue in Jira Cloud

[Jared Portela]

I am trying to see how many times one specific issue has moved back and forth from "In Development" to "Ready to Test" in Jira cloud. Are there any reports that exist to track this? Or are there any recommended plug ins that could help with this kind of reporting?

Hi,

You don't have it built in from Jira.

You have to create a custom field of type number.

Than, use a plugin to increment the custom field value by 1 when status changes from A to B.

You can use any of the following:
