JQl for Ticket Status History

[Tristen John Bagain]

Hi,

Is there a JQL which I can use to search for issues which has historically had a status of "Ready for Deployment"? The older tickets at some point in time had this status.

Thanks in Advance!

Hey Tristen,

You should be able to do that with the WAS operator.

So for you that would be

Status WAS "Ready for Deployment"

Thanks!. What if I need both? like the existing "Ready for Deployment" and the old ones too?

status was "ready for deployment" and status is "ready for deployment"?.

Thanks in Advance!

You can then write it with an  OR operator

If you need both to appear in the same result I'd suggest:

Status WAS "ready for deployment" OR Status = "Ready for deployment"

This would then add both results together so you get the ones that are currently in that status and the ones that once were in that status.
