You can create a generic user custom field to identify the user that changes the issue to the specified status. This field is a calculated (read-only) custom field.
To create a Status Entry User Custom Field
- Navigate to Jira Admin > Add-ons > Enhancer Plugin Menu > Custom Field Configuration and go to the User tab.
- Click on the
button. - Fill in the dialog box:
- Create a name for the custom field.
- Select Status to hold the date of when the issue changed from this status. After 5.36.0 version, you can select multiple statuses.
- Specify First or Last - whether the issue can re-visit this status (e.g. issue can be reopened and then changed to Critical Zone status again).
- And then click on the Add Custom Field button. That's it.
This custom field can be used to sort or search in issue navigator.
