Hook for status transition?

Kanban prescribes not to push an item into the next column, but just mark them as DONE in the current column. The DONE issue will be pulled into the next column when necessary. 

I'm looking for a way to do it. I can't use additional statuses (threre's no way to modify the current Jira project's workflow).

One possiblity is to flag an issue. But this approach has a disadvantage - one who will be moving the issue will have to remeber to unflag it.

Is it possible to somehow mark an issue in the way that this mark will automatically removed/discarded when the issue transitions into another column?

I actually need some property that:

  1. is removed/discarded when an issue transitions to another column
  2. can be used in a Query (I then could change a color of the card based on whether this property is ON of OFF)

Do you have any ideas?

Hi @aleksey.shishkin  - I plan on writing an article on creating a Pull System in Jira, but will give you a quick description of what we do.

We have created a custom field called Pullable. We have then created two statuses in the workflow for each activity. For example, Develop Underway and Develop Pullable, Test Underway and Test Pullable, etc. We create a transition from the Underway statuses to the Pullable statuses and call the Transition Make Pullable. We assign the issue to the Current User in a Post Function on the Transition. Also on the Transition we set the Pullable field to Yes.

We then add a Condition on the transitions to the Underway statuses that the Pullable field must be equal to Yes. And we put a post function on the Transition to set the Pullable field to No. 

Below is a screenshot of part of the workflow to help visualize it.

Thank you, but I can not modify the current Jira project's workflow (add additional statuses like "Develop Pullable", "Test Pullable")
