Automatically set start date when ticket moved from To Do --> In Progress column in Scrum Board

Hi @Pavithra Duraisamy ,

You have two ways to make that.

1. Create a Automation process 

2. Modify the workflow and set a Post Functions into transition affected

Hi @Pavithra Duraisamy ,

are you familiar with the automation functionality in the Jira cloud?

You should be able to create the rule for this, something like:

When issue is transitioned from To Do to In Progress, set the start date to now (or some other value, I'm not sure, which one you need).

Thanks Hana! I wasn't familiar with automation, but now I explored some and created the rules.

Hi @Pavithra Duraisamy 

You can try setting automation rules as was suggested before.  Automation Rule Library may be useful to look through.

If you want to get the date and time when every issue entered each of the statuses for the first time, check out Time in Status for Jira Cloud app. With this app developed by my team, you can get Status Entrance Date report:

Hi @Pavithra Duraisamy ,

As an alternative you can use Status Time Free Jira app which displays status entry dates on each issue detail. In your case it displays "In Progress" entry date as well.
