Issue Screen - Time Tracking Fields

Time in Current Status

  • This field shows how much time the issue has spent in its current status (in this case, Resolved).

  • The clock icon (🕒) next to the status means that the issue is still in this status, so time continues to accumulate.

Time in "In Progress" (Static Status)

  • This field tracks the total time the issue spent in a specific static status (in this case, In Progress).

  • Since the issue is no longer in this status, the pause icon (⏸️) appears, meaning time is no longer being counted.

Time in Previous Status

  • This field calculates the time spent in the previous status (in this case, Build Broken).

  • The pause icon (⏸️) indicates that the issue is no longer in this status, so time tracking for this field has stopped.

Icons Meaning:

  • 🕒 Clock icon → The issue is currently in the configured status, so time tracking is active.

  • ⏸️ Pause icon → The issue is no longer in the configured status, so time tracking has stopped.

These fields allow users to analyze how long an issue stays in different statuses, helping with workflow optimization and performance tracking.
