Jira dashboard gadget based on status category

Question

We have been using gadget filter statistics displayed as per jira status however the ask is to have data displayed based on status categories....That means we need to show all the count of jira user stories of current sprint based on status categories example -

Todo- all jira stories having status=open, requirement etc

InDev - all jira stories having status = in progress, Coded etc

likewise InQA and InUAT will have different status combined under it.

We do not use the martketplace at all by security rules; however you can use a rich filter and have smart filters to mimic statuscategory field.

PS - Atlassian stood up the marketplace instead of having their programmers create more functionality.

Hello @Anupama Belakhindi

You can access the status category via the API, and use a marketplace app like VisualScript for Jira to create a dashboard gadget report to give you what you are looking for.  There are multiple ways to visibly represent it.

For example:

You can create a grid where the x-axis is each status category, and the y-axis is anything else like issue type.  Then you can have shapes per issue in each cell with other fields displaying their values in each shape(issue) as well.

Hope this helps,

Hi @Anupama Belakhindi   -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I do not believe you can use status category with many of the built-in gadgets.  As a work-around, you could add a custom field to have the same value, and report on that.

* Add a custom field 
* In the workflow transitions (or with automation rules) set the value of the  custom field
* For existing issues, bulk update them to set the value of the custom field
* Report on the custom field with the gadget

If you want to try this without adding the custom field, you could use Components or Labels if one of those isn't used for anything else for the project.

Best regards,

Bill
