How do I show in a query when a change was made?

Question

I am trying to build a query to list the items I have moved into a "ready for QA" state. So far, I have: status changed to "ready for qa" by I can add after -7d to restrict this to just the items I moved to that state in the last week, but what I'd really like is to have another "synthetic" column that gives 'time when status changed to "ready for qa" by '. I can't just look at the "updated" field, because other users could have updated the issue after me. I want to see the time of the specific change that was made by me.

Built-in JQL doesn't allow to get what you want directly.

As a workaround, I think (never done myself) you can:

* create a custom field of an appropriate type for managing dates
* set the current date to that custom field by adding a post function to all transitions to the status 'ready for QA'
* include your custom field to be shown as a column in your search results

Please, let me know if that approach works.
