What is developer object currentStatusDuration?

[KristinaN]

I am trying to locate where the Issue system update date is stored and stumbled upon the currentStatusDuration field on the developer Objects pages. Does anyone know what this does? I could not find anything about it during searches. Thanks!

Hi @KristinaN 

it is the time in hours for which the objects has had its current status. It is reset every time the status changes.

ex. after 2min in a status it's currentStatusDuration=0.03333333333333333

change status again and it resets to zero and starts counting again. 

Nice find!

Thank you so much, I am having trouble calling this in text mode. Could you see what I might be missing? Thank you for your swift response!

displayname=Current Status Duration
textmode=true
valueexpression=currentStatusDuration
valueformat=double

Hi @KristinaN 

try this. 

• if you use valueexpression, every fields must be wrapped in curly quotes {}
• You could also use valuefield=currentStatusDuration
• I added rounding to 2 decimals 
• If you're doing valueexpression, "string" seems to always work as valueformat - since you're composing an output  

displayname=Current Status Duration
textmode=true
valueexpression=round({currentStatusDuration},2)+" hrs"
valueformat=string
