I want to have a filter of Jira's completed by QA. How can I capture this with transitioning states?

Question

In my workflow, the state is Testing in Progress - to Ready for UAT - this will tell me who the real tester is as the time of QA.

How can I see who is the assignee of record when the Jira is in Testing in Progress and makes the transition to Ready for UAT.

Hi,

You can't do it directly with a JQL. You can create a jql but you will need to put the username of your user that belong to the QA team, something like this:

Status changed from YourSTATUS to YOURSTATUS by USERNAME.

I will give a try to Automation, im not sure but it might have a rule to catch who perform the transition and send you an email or put this value in a customfield.

An another option will be to look at each issue using the REST API.

Hi Diann,

For me, the best way to handle that is to create a new custom field of a User Picker type and maybe call it something like Testing Assignee or Tester. You can then create an automation rule that copies the assignee when it moves to the Testing In Progress to the new custom field.
