This custom field allows you to show how long an issue waited in a specific workflow status. In addition to selecting a specific workflow status like 'Open', 'Resolved' etc. you can also select one of 'Previous Status' or 'Current Status' options to show how long an issue waited in it's previous status or current status, so that when issue transitioned to another status it automatically shows related status of the issue.

First transition to status: Reports duration for only the first transition to the selected status
Last transition to status: Reports duration for the last transition to the selected status
Total of all transitions: Sums up duration for every transition to the selected status
