How to filter issues that used a specific transition using JQL

[Elie]

I made a Workflow and at some point i needed to make 3 transitions between the same two statuses.

Now i want to filter the issues by specific transition

Please Help

As a workaroud, I guess you could add a custom field "TransitionsUsed" (don't add to any screens) and capture the transitions used. In each transitions you're interested in monitoring, append the transition name to the "TransitionsUsed" field. 

More practically, I think it'll be better to look into server log digesting, using the transition IDs as the thing to report on. 

Cheers,

Did you get an answer for this? I'm looking for this too.

[Elie]

No, unfortunately I didn't get an answer

I know this is an older question and I wish I had the answer.  Instead, I have a similar requirement where I need to query the Transition, not the resulting Status.  Was there ever an answer to this question?

[Elie]

No, unfortunately I didn't get an answer

Do you have already any solution for the case or a workaround?

[Elie]

No, There seems no answer to this problem

The closest thing you can do is use the status changed from STATUS to OTHERSTATUS. There is generally only one transition between two statuses.

Thank you Raynard for your reply.

However in my case i am obliged to make 2 different transitions between the same to statuses so the "Status changed from status to other status" won't work in this case as it will give me all transitions made between those 2 statuses.

I'm searching for a way to filter by specific transition.

Hi Elie and welcome to the community :)

I hope I understood your final goal - you are trying to create a workflow in which when transitioning to the next status (from the status that you are currently in) - the transition will be according to previous transitions.

I believe the best way to receive what you are trying to do is simply use different statuses to maintain order as your workflow develops.

But if you insist on using the same statuses, you can try using conditions, triggers and post-functions for the next transitions you're creating, specifically this condition:

[Elie]

No, I created the workflow and linked 2 statuses with 3 different transitions (A, B & C)

I need a way to filter the issues that used for example transation A instead of B or C

[Raynard Rhodes]

What are the conditions of the issues? Can you screenshot your WF to demonstrate?

[Elie]

I don't have a problem with creating the workflow

I created it and it's working fine

But for reporting purposes, I need to filter the issues that transitioned from a specific status to another specific status using a specific transition. My question is: is there a way to filter the issues using JQL?

[Raynard Rhodes]

I don't think there is a way to identify transitions. I am looking to see if there is a way to identify the property of a transition, but this seems fruitless.
