Numer of Days in Blocked Status

[Chris Kenny]

I am looking to be able to run some form of jql to determine if a jira card has been in a status of blocked for more than e.g. 2 days. I looked at post functions but i would need to transition. Is there a way of flagging a date in a customer field when someone updates the priority field to blocked?

You can write a listener that updates the custome field.

It can be done in Java or scripts (using plugins like script runner).

You might be able to do this with the script runner add on. To get the actual data that you want, the Suite Utilities add on has an issue tab panel that does that. You can get the source code from there.
