How to get LAST Closed Date

[Tammy Robinson]

I am using the below logic to create a scripted field for Date Closed.  I cannot go back into all of our workflows and add a post function for Date Closed at this point so I am calculating it.  However, some workflows allow users to re-open issues.  Is there a way to capture the LAST closed date? The below code captures the 1st time the status is set to Closed.

import com.atlassian.core.util.DateUtils
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.history.ChangeItemBean
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def changeHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager()

String closed = changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "status").find {it.toString == "Closed"}?.getCreated()
Date formattedDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").parse(closed)

Hello Tammy,

1. You can loop reverse after getting status changes with getChangeItemsForField and return the first "Closed" match. However, I recommend to use ID rather than String.
2. Simply you can use Enhancer Plugin's Status Date custom field and select "Last" to define the Last Closed Date customfield

Thanks for the reply, Tuncay.  I do not want to purchase a plugin for this. I thought there might be a simpler way to get the last Closed status.  I just don't know the syntax to the get the last item of the list using the find.  Any ideas? Or how to loop reverse?

Hello Tammy,

Just add reverse()

changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "status").reverse().find {it.toString == "Closed"}?.getCreated()

Thank you so much!  That's worked for me.

You're very welcome Tammy

As I mentioned before, it is wise to use status ID rather than status name.
