Hi @Alex 

What problem are you trying to solve?  That is, why do this?  Knowing that may help the community to offer better suggestions.  Thanks!

Until we know that...

The information about status transitions is stored in the changelog, and that is not easily accessible by automation rules.  As @Hana Kučerová suggests, the rule could capture the date / time of a change in a custom field when the status changes.

Another approach, if your workflow is quite simple (e.g., To Do > In Progress > Done) you could try using the statusCategoryChangedDate as that would reflect the last time the status category changed.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Alex ,

maybe you can try to get it using {{changelog.status}}, see here for more info:

@Hana Kučerová Hi! Output :

ChangeItemBean

{field='status', fieldType='jira', from='11301', fromString='Backlog', to='1', toString='Open'}

Ok, it looks like the date is not available, only other params.

I’ve searched more on this topic and it is complicated.

The easiest solution probably would be to create a new custom field and store the datetime there each time the issue is transitioned using automation (and then get the value from there).

Hi @Alex ,

try: {{issue.updated.jiradate}}
