Is there any option in jira where we can find iterations of issue types?

[Pooja]

Especially for issue types bugs, how can we know the open, reopen iterations of bugs in numbers?

[Todd Winton]

We use a field to store the number of times entering a status and added to the workflow a post function that increments that field.

[Andrew Laden]

JQL returns a list of issues. It doesn't return a number based on conditions in the issue.

If you want to track "iterations" then make a custom field called "iterations" as a number field, and then add a post function in every transition that should increase the iterations to increment it by 1.

You will need a addon for that post function, as native jira doesnt have the ability to do a calculation to a field. 

Actually, finding a Addon to increment by 1 isn't as easy as it sounds. PowerScripts or Scriptrunner cold do it. There may be others.

Hi Pooja,

If I understand you correctly, you should be able to write a JQL that will show the issues that have had a status change (even for a particular time period). SOmething like:

issuetype = Bug AND Status changed TO "Reopen" DURING (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30)

If you don't want the time period, simply drop the part starting with DURING

I hope that helps!

[Pooja]

How will it count the numbers?

for example,

a bug got reopened four times so I m expecting numbers of reopened iterations for that bug.

like,

Bug A= reopened iterations=4

something like that...

[John Funk]

It's not going to be able to do that directly. You might try this: 

issuetype = Bug AND Status changed FROM Open TO "Reopen" DURING (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30)

and then run again for:

issuetype = Bug AND Status changed FROM Reopen TO "Open" DURING (2019-09-01, 2019-09-30)

Ok Thanks, i will try.

You can also use a gadget on a dashboard to do a count for you for the rows returned from each filter.
