Chart to track story bugs' time spent vs development time

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to create a dashboard chart showing stories with specified target version on x-axis and the sum of time spent on story bugs(issue type) & the sum of of time spent on technical tasks (issue type) in split bar on y-axis.

Any guidance on how I can achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

You can try Jira Cloud for Excel/Google Sheets, they are Atlassian official plug-ins and they are free. You can get the field Days in Status to get durations on a given status. Check for example: Jira Cloud for Google Sheets Add-ons Days in Status field pattern and returned value for duration. You need to know the status ID, not the status name (put this URL in your browser) https://.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue/ Here is an example Days in Status field possible value: 3_*:*_1_*:*_18206_*|*_10000_*:*_1_*:*_2103302_*|*_10275_*:*_1_*:*_62551162_*|*_10088_*:*_1_*:*_11796778_*|*_10087_*:*_1_*:*_2577772_*|*_10001_*:*_1_*:*_0 It indicates for each status ID how many times it passes through a given status and the duration in milliseconds on a given status. For example, for status ID 3 (this is IN PROGRESS status in my Jira instance), it was 1 time and the duration was 18206 (if you divide by 86400000 you get the number of natural days in status). Each number is delimited by _*:*_ and each record (each status) is delimited by _*|*_. Next, parse the information you get from this field. You can check this link: Parse Days in Status field from Jira Cloud for Google Sheets, on how to do it for Google, for Excel it is similar. Finally, build your report in Excel/Google based on the data you got from Jira. Worth mentioning that this field is only populated if the issue was closed (reached the Done status), for work-in-progress issues, this field is not populated, so it serves to do a post-mortem analysis only. I hope it helps, David
