we need the automatic date while moving from one status to another status

[uday]

Hi Team,

We need help in configuring a couple of fields in Jira. We have admin rights. Please let me know if this would be possible.

• date to UAT – Field exists. We want this to be auto filled once a story is moved to UAT by Developer.
• Date story moved from “to do” to “In-progress” . we need to create a date field to capture this automatically.

Regards

Uday

Hello @uday ,

You can do this with custom fields and automation rules (or workflow functions) but this solution will become harder and harder to maintain as the number of fields and statuses grows. And also, the dates you are looking for are already available in each issue's history. It is just hard to get them as a report.

Our team at OBSS built Time in Status app for this exact need. It is available for Jira Server, Cloud, and Data Center.

Time in Status mainly allows you to see how much time each issue spent on each status or assigned to each assignee. The app also has 4 types of "date reports" that show you the First/Last transition date from/to each status.

The app calculates its reports using already existing Jira issue histories so when you install the app, you don't need to add anything to your issue workflows and you can get reports on your past issues as well.

Using Time in Status you can:

• See how much time each issue spent on each status, assignee, user group and also see dates of status transitions.
• Calculate averages and sums of those durations grouped by issue fields you select. (For example, see average InProgress time per project and per issue type.)
• Export your data as XLS, XLSX, or CSV.
• Access data via REST API. (for integrations)
• Visualize data with various chart types.
• See Time in Status reports on Jira Dashboard gadgets (released for cloud, server&DC gadget coming soon)

Hi @uday ,

As an alternative you can try Status Time Free app. It displays how much time passed in each status as well as status entry dates and status transition count on each issue detail page.

To create the date field just go to the custom fields screen and create a new custom field of the date type.

To make those custom date fields take the value of a transition I guess there might be a handfull of options out there:

• An automation - Automation for jira - a vanilla custom date/time field that is populated with the current date/time when the automation criteria are matched
• A calculated custom field - jira misc custom fields - acalculated date/time field that gets the value of the date/time at the moment the configurated transition is executed
• Postfunction on transition - a vanilla custom date/time is populated by the postfuncion "edit custom field" to the value %%CURRENT_DATE_TIME%%. I can't remember the name of the plugin that provided with this option but you should be able to find it with a quick searck.
• More scripting options (scriptrunner, mygrovy... )
