Can we update field on re transition ?

Question

Can we update a field if if the issue has transitioned through a specified status ?

Like set a field (may be a custom field) to any value if this particular transition from X to Y occurs ? Can we do this.

I am asking this because I want to keep track all those stories which are re transitioned on the Board. Thanks all!

Thanks much Zahira. I know this.

But I was asking this if we could highlight these stories in any manner or differentiate the re transitioned stories in color or by updating the custom field on the Project board, is there any way ?

Raj,

JIRA already stores the history of status changes. You can search for them like this:

project = PWC AND status CHANGED FROM "In Progress" TO "Resolved" BY jsmith
