Is there a way to add a date to a release in Jira?

unknown

Hello everyone,

In our release process, we deliver new features to our customers in 2 steps.

• Step 1 is a delivery in UAT (User Acceptance Tests).
• Step 2, after our customer approved all the changes, is a delivery on a production server.

 

Currently in Jira, there is 2 dates per release. "Start Date" and "Release Date".

I would like to add a third date that I would call "UAT Date".

 

Is there a way to do that? Built in or using an add-on?

 

Thanks in advance for your help,

 

Charles

Sure Charles - just add a custom date field named UAT Date (or what ever you want) and update the value with a post function in the work flow that transitions from the status before the UAT status. Be sure to clear the value if it moves back to an earlier status. (if you don't want folks to edit it, don't add it to the edit screen)
