Extract time in status

unknown

Hi,

I want to create a scripted field in scriptrunner that calculates time in status (like Jira suite utilities) in certain conditions.

Is the best way to create some custom fields that populate a date and time or can I script this?

Hi Robin,

Take a look at this link: https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/scripted-fields.html#_total_time_this_issue_has_been_in_progress

You can edit this code to show the total time for any status.

Is that what you are looking for?

Thanks,

Johnson Howard

It looks like it, but the values are not correct

It was in the status for less than a minute.

Kind regards,

def total = rt.sum() as Long
return total ?: 0L

JohnsonHoward

Try adding this return instead of the one you have:

def total = rt as int []
return DateUtils.getDurationString(Math.round(total.sum() / 1000))

JohnsonHoward

You will have to import:

import com.atlassian.core.util.DateUtils

Can you please set this answer to accepted?

Done

Is it possible to set that duration time in relation to already configured service calendars/times? The method above includes also non-working times.

Thanks for inspiration

The display of the data works, but querying is inconsistent.

You are in effect using datetime.now() as a basis of your scripts calculation, which in itself is a non-deterministic function. (On ANY platform you shouldnt really ever index a piece of data that is based on a non-deterministic function...but I wanted to reprove this to myself in JIRA too!)

My own objective was to be able to alert when a ticket has been in any given state which exceeds the time-estimate for it (to highlight flow hotspots)

I created a field: "Time in current status" that effectively has a value of now() - date time of last transition (simplified version of script above: just gets the first entry and does the calculation, or if no transition entry then use now() - created date)

Putting my field on the Kanban cards always displayed the right value, but JQL filters were inconsistent. The data in the field was only ever saved if the issue was updated + saved in some way.

My test script was thus:

Create an issue, kanban shows 0 minutes in "Time in current status" field

After 10 minutes refresh the kanban board: issue shows 10 minutes in "Time in current status"

Run JQL: "Time in current status" > 9m : issue doesn't show (bad)

Immediately edit a field (eg Description or Summary) to trigger issue data to be saved

Run JQL: "Time in current status" > 9m : issue shows (good)

I waited 2 minutes:

Run JQL: "Time in current status" > 11m : issue doesn't show (bad)

Then re-index my project (triggers script to run on each issue: NB this is potential danger of using scripted fields)

Run JQL: "Time in current status" > 11m : issue shows (good)

The message is: think carefully what you are doing with any data in your script and whether it can actually support queries on that data - does it rely on a piece of data that can change, without triggering an update to the scripted field on your issue.

Always ask yourself: when using data external to the issues fields for any calculations: if that piece of data changes does your field need to be recalculated or is your field usage explicitly for a snapshot?

So I am using a longer method for getting time in all statuses, see the example below. I am having 2 issues, one I have resolved by using my own calculations:

First issue I had was using the DateUtils.getDurationString(total) method, which kept on returning 0m, I used this:
- def newRT = rt as long []
  rt.clear()
  def total = newRT.sum()/ 1000 as long
  def seconds = total.intValue()
  def iD = (seconds / 85400).round(0)
  def days = seconds % 86400
  def iH = (days / 3600).round(0)
  def hours = days % 3600
  def iM = (hours /60).round(0)
  def strTimeStr = sName + ": " + iD.toString() + "d " + iH.toString() + "h " + iM.toString() + "m" + " | "
  strResult += strTimeStr
The above solved the output of the time in strings, however with Backlog I have a weird total, I will iclude the screenshot below:
- Expected 12s

Here is the script below (I am going to add logic to the output to only print d m h if there are values for them):

//Import the relevant libraries
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.history.ChangeItemBean

//Define the variables to be used
def strResult = ""
List<Long> rt = [0L]
List<String> statusName = []
def changeHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager()
def changeItems = changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "status")

//Validate that there is only one of each change item name
for(item in changeItems){
    if(statusName.contains(item.getToString())){
        //Do Nothing
    } else {
        statusName << item.getToString()
    }
}

//Get time difference for each status and concatinate onto strResult
for(sName in statusName){
    changeItems.reverse().each { ChangeItemBean item ->
        if (changeItems.indexOf(sName) == 0){
            rt << issue.create.getTime() - item.create.getTime()
        } else {
            item.fromString == sName
            def timeDiff = System.currentTimeMillis() - item.created.getTime()
           
            if (item.fromString == sName) {
                rt << -timeDiff
            }

            if (item.toString == sName) {
                rt << timeDiff
            }
        }
    }

    //Create the output string
    def newRT = rt as long []
    rt.clear()
    def total = newRT.sum()/ 1000 as long

    def seconds = total.intValue()
    def iD = (seconds / 85400).round(0)
    def days = seconds % 86400
    def iH = (days / 3600).round(0)
    def hours = days % 3600
    def iM = (hours /60).round(0)
    def strTimeStr = sName + ": " + iD.toString() + "d " + iH.toString() + "h " + iM.toString() + "m" + " | "
    strResult += strTimeStr
}

return strResult

If anyone could provide advice for including something to calculate for the first status of the workflow? I know the majority of our projects use Backlog but there may be a few that use another status in the beginning of the workflow

Thanks in advance

This function work for me:

def Long getTimeInStatus(String STATUS_ID, issue) {

def list = ComponentAccessor.changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "status").findAll {

it.to == STATUS_ID || it.from == STATUS_ID

}.sort { it.created }

if (list.size() == 0) {

return new Date().time - issue.created.time

}

def timeInStatus = 0;

def isLastItem = false

while (!isLastItem) {

def itemTo = list.find { it.to == STATUS_ID && it.to != it.from }

if (itemTo) {

list = list - itemTo

def itemFrom = list.find { it.from == STATUS_ID && it.to != it.from }

if (itemFrom) {

list = list - itemFrom

timeInStatus += itemFrom.created.time - itemTo.created.time

} else {

isLastItem = true

timeInStatus += new Date().time - itemTo.created.time

return Long.divideUnsigned(timeInStatus, 1000)

}

} else {

isLastItem = true

return Long.divideUnsigned(timeInStatus, 1000)

}

return Long.divideUnsigned(timeInStatus, 1000);

}

Hi @Slava Gefen and everyone who is looking for solution 😌

As an alternative, for advanced analysis you can try - Time in Status for Jira (Cloud, Data Center), (developed by SaaSJet) that generates 7 types of status reports including Status Entrance Date report. It shows the date a particular issue has entered each of a status (Resolved or Closed, etc.).

set date or date ranges you need
get dates when the issue has entered each of the statuses on the grid.

On the chart, it shows the number of tasks that have entered a status on a certain date - for example, 1 task out of 5 tasks has entered the Progress status for the first time on the 23-rd of May.

Add-on has a 30-day free trial version and free up to 10 users .

Hope it helps 😌
