How to access and manipulate JIRAs ´time in status´ data?

[Ethan Carter]

I am trying my hand at developing plugins for JIRA, and for my first project I would like to calculate the average time each developer spends in a specific status in the workflow. To do this I am not sure how to access the time data given from the Jira Charting Plugin. Also, how to put a web section and item underneath the project tab.

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks.

You can access the data without the plugin. You can query the history of an issue and define the time yourself. You can find an example here:

Okay that is helpful for accessing the history of the issue, but I have a follow-up question. Since I would like to write a plugin that can manipulate this information, do you have any suggestions on plugin modules that this code is compatible with?
