Is it possible to extract the date when an issue was moved to "Ready for Release" status?

Is it possible to extract the date when an issue was moved to "Ready for Release" status?  We want to use the "Ready for Release" date to calculate the system lead time (how long an issue takes from commitment at start of sprint until the issue is ready for release but not deployed).

Hi @Melanie Ringler 

The equivalent of what @Aleksandr Zuevich described via the REST API would be :

Adding &expand=changelog to an API call will give you the history for each item. You then need to iterate through each item.changelog.histories and for each of those iterate through histories.items - you can check for the date when the status was changed to "Ready for Release".

This then automates the whole process so you can get the lead time for all tickets at the push of a button.

Hi,

You can see such info on History tab at Issue view screen. Who and when the change was made.
