Fixed Status Bugs Not Returning Accurate Results

Question

Struggling to identify defects that have been fixed in a particular time period.

Please see jql query used:

project = test AND issuetype = Bug AND status was 'Fixed'

Can a additional parameter be added to narrow the date down? is there anything that helps narrow the date e.g. status date?

Hello @r2d2

You can use the CHANGED operator to filter for issues where the status was changed to a particular value before, after, or during a time period. Refer to:

When you use the "WAS" operator in JQL, that's going to show you any ticket that was ever in that status. If you're looking for any ticket that had its status changed to Fixed within a date range, you can do something like this, as shown in @Petter Gonçalves update on this post

* Using Dynamic date & time. In the example below, I’ll return all the issues changed to the ”Closed” status between five and two weeks before my current time:

status changed to closed after -5w before -2w

* Using Static date & time. In the example below, I’ll return all the issues changed to the ”Closed” status between “08/01/2020 00:00” and “09/15/2020 00:00”:

status changed to closed after "2020/08/01 00:00" before "2020/09/15 00:00”
