Can I query issues by previous state they transitioned from?

[Alexey Krasheninnikov]

For instance, I'd like to find all issues in "Ready to deploy" that have previous state "QA" but not coming directly from "Development" or vice versa (may be legit, but should be differentiated).

Hi @Alexey Krasheninnikov Yes you can, in the FIlters you can use something like: 

status WAS "QA"

 You can see more details here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-core-cloud/docs/advanced-search-reference-jql-operators/#Advancedsearching-operatorsreference-WASWAS

Thanks a lot. I found that I can also use status FROM a TO b AFTER startOfWeek() which is fantastic.

This is great! JQL filters are awesome! Everyday is a new thing to learn how to use it.

Thank you!
