Cycle time display in the story card in the board

[Jils]

I want to see the number of days an issue was in a column (for example, in Development column)

Hello Jils,

In Jira natively there is not an option to display this on the board directly, however you could create a dashboard and use the JIRA Charting Plugin as described in the following KB to generate a Average time in Status Gadget to track this data, but this is going to be on a separate dashboard not the Card directly:

• How to use Average Time In Status Gadget 

Alternatively, I believe you could use ScriptRunner's scripted fields to create a field similar to their "Total time this issue has been In Progress" field, and modify for changes between each status rather than created to current as it is currently written.

Regards,
Earl
