Workflow Post Function Condition Based on Time in Certain Status

[Cole]

I am trying to create a groovy script post function or condition that only lets a transition happen if the issue has been in that status for at least 30 days. Also, this would only apply for issues when a cascading select list is a certain value.

I figured I could probably use the "Scripted (Groovy) Condition (JMWE add-on)" option to accomplish this.

Basically, if cascading select = Colorado - Denver then this transition can only be triggered if it has been in the In Progress status for at least 30 days. Otherwise, it must stay in that status.

I came up with this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def changeHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager()
def items = changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField (issue, "status").reverse()
def time
def source

source = issue.get("customfield_16401")?.get("1")?.value

if (source == "Denver") {
time = ((new Date().time - items.first().created.time) / 1000) as Long
}
else {
time = 2592000
}

if (time >= 2592000) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it seems to work.
