how can I display the old and current status of a story according to workflow in a kanban board?

I want to display all old and current phases or status according to the workflow of a user story in a Kanban Board at the same time . Is it possible?

Hi @Arshina Masud 

Welcome to the community.

I’m curious to know what the aim/objective of this particular is? What is the requirement or outcome you are hoping to achieve by this? Perhaps we can suggest an alternative solution if we had a little more insight into your use-case. 

That being said:

You can access the history section for each issue to track the status changes over time (along with other details). However that would require you to click open each issue and going into the history tab to view this information.

Alternatively, the data is available in Jira Rest API too. It provides the exact status transition date and time for each issue.

As far as I know there isn’t a native way to  perform/display this for a group of issues via JQL.

Although, you would be able to accomplish exactly what you’re looking for by using an Atlassian Marketplace app called Issue History for Jira Cloud. This app will give you all the change log details you’re looking for pertaining to the workflow associated to your issue.

This add-on collects data about all issues changes in the one grid. So you don't need to go through each issue and manually extract this from history.

Hi @Arshina Masud 

@Hamza Chundrigar thank you for mentioning Issue History for Jira. My team has developed it as a journal for all past changes. And you can get old + current values for any custom or standard issue field. 

Here is how status changes look like:

Welcome to the community Arshina!

You will need to use automation to store the previous status name in a custom field (eg. 'Previous status')

You could use a rule like this:

• Trigger: Field value changed with status
• Edit issue and set the 'Previous status' field to  {{fieldChange.fromString}}

And then you can add both "Status" and your custom field 'Previous status' which contains the previous status in your card layout.

I hope it helps!
