How do I capture the date an issue moved to a particular status?

[amara_welling]

I need to display a Jira issue on my Kanban board only for a week after it changed status from "To Do" to "Ready for Development". Is there a query that will help me do this?

Hi @amara_welling,

You can setup new date field and add a post-function to that particular status transition"To Do" to capture the date 

Using the same field you can define jql query as below

"Ready Date" >= -7d

@Leo thank you. What is a post-function, can you please explain this to me? I'm a bit of a novice :) 

Many thanks

it is an operation/event executes immediately after the transition happened.

you can refer this article for more details and steps: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-advanced-issue-workflows/
