I want to show the resolved date. How do I do that?

[Danno]

I may have asked this before or at least stumbled onto the answer somewhere but in my haste, I didn't write it down.

I'm pretty sure there is no way to natively show the resolved date on an issue view so I was thinking I could create a custom Completed Date field and use the resolution date to populate it via post function or automation.

Does anybody of the hive mind have an alternative method other than an add-on?

My reason for this is to use it in the Advanced Planning Roadmap tool. Create the plan using Target Dates and then switch to Start and Completed custom date fields to track the real progress.

Hi Danno,

Can you be more specific where you want the Resolved date value to show? It does already show on the bottom right of an issue.

Thanks for the reply John,

Somewhere as a field that I can use mainly for the advanced roadmap planning tool.

That said I don't see it in an issue view. I am using Cloud Premium.

You probably should be using End Date instead of Resolved.

@John Funk, I'm guessing from what I've been reading that I need to enable work logs to get this for a given issue, is that correct? I have a hard enough time with my coworkers getting them to even transition a task to In Progress when they start. Most items go from To Do to Done.

Can you elaborate on your suggestion some more? Does it require enabling work logs? I think I saw somewhere that Epics carry an End date. Do other types of issues have this as well?

[John Funk]

No, work logs involving charging/recording time against an issue. 

But the Roadmap will use the End Date for an issue, not the Resolved Date. So you should add the End Date to your issues that appear on the Roadmap, and make sure the field has a value.
