How do I create a filter based on when a button was clicked?

Jennet Volden

In my JIRA tasks, there is a 'Start Progress' button.  How do I create a filter that will display the time for when that button was pressed?

Hello,

You can not create a filter, which would show you this info. Filters can return only issues. 

You need to create a custom field, which would show you this info. You can use the Power Custom Fields add-on for it. It is a free add-on.

The code for this custom field would look like this:

string field_name;
string[] field_history;
field_name = "status";
field_history = fieldHistory(key, field_name);
print("here");
for(number i = 1; i < size(field_history); i += 2) {
 string newStatus = field_history[i];
 date newDate = field_history[i-1];
 if (newStatus == "TO DO") {
 return newDate;
 }
}

 You can add this custom field to an issue view screen or add it as a column in the Issue Navigator.
