Issue Activity

The Issue Activity module shows StatusPath report data inside a Jira work item activity panel.

Issue activity is especially useful when a duration value looks surprising and you need to inspect the status path behind it.

When to use this

Use Issue Activity when validating a specific issue, explaining a bottleneck, or checking why a status duration differs from a teammate’s expectation.

Before you begin

  • Run a report that includes the issue you want to inspect.
  • Make sure you can view the issue in Jira.
  • Identify the report column or duration value you want to understand.

Steps

  1. Open a report result.
  2. Find the issue row.
  3. Open Issue Activity for that issue.
  4. Review status entries, transitions, assignee changes, and relevant timestamps.
  5. Compare the activity with the calculated report value.

Result

You can see the activity context that helps explain how StatusPath Reports calculates values for the current Jira work item.

Notes

  • Issue Activity currently supports Time in Status, Time in Assignee, Status Count, and Transition Count.
  • The module supports chart and table views.
  • Duration reports include duration format and work schedule controls.
  • The module listens for Jira issue-change events and refreshes when the current work item changes.
  • Issue activity depends on Jira changelog history.
  • The visible data follows the current user’s Jira permissions.
  • Use time settings to understand whether calendar time or business time is being shown.
  • The current Issue Activity UI does not expose a separate Status History tab or standalone history table.

Troubleshooting

If activity does not explain the value, check whether the report uses date range limits, business hours, or grouped statuses. If older status or assignee changes are unavailable, the calculated result can be incomplete.
