Advanced Custom Fields for Jira

FieldCraft - Custom Fields for Jira Cloud

Get workflow metrics as real Jira custom fields. Time in status, transition counts, reopen counts, field change timestamps: calculated automatically, stored inside your Jira instance.

Jira workflow metrics and custom fields

How FieldCraft Works

Three steps to metrics on your issues:

  • Add a FieldCraft custom field

    Create a new custom field via the native Jira Custom Fields page. Choose from Time in Status, Transition Count, Field Change Time, and more.

  • Configure your tracking criteria

    Select which statuses, transitions, or fields to monitor. Each metric is configured separately, so it matches how your workflow actually runs.

  • Metrics update automatically

    FieldCraft tracks issue activity in the background and keeps the field values current. Nothing to run by hand.

Available Custom Field Types

Fields for process analysis and SLA management, with more added over time.

Time in Status

Measure how long an issue has spent in any selected status. Useful for SLA tracking, finding bottlenecks, and reporting.

Transition Count

Track how many times an issue has moved between statuses. Spot re-work patterns and workflow inefficiencies at a glance.

Reopen Count

Count how many times an issue was reopened after being resolved, a direct signal of rework and quality problems.

First & Last Field Change Time

Capture the timestamp when a field was first or most recently changed, for audit trails and timeline analysis.

Modified By

Track which user last modified an issue field, so changes are always attributable.

Jira Expression Fields

Build calculated fields with Jira Expressions when you need a metric specific to your own business rules.

Why Teams Choose FieldCraft

What Jira administrators and project teams get out of it:

  • Native Jira fields, not a separate report

    FieldCraft fields behave like any other Jira custom field. Use them in board columns, JQL filters, dashboards, and reports directly.

  • Metrics update on their own

    All field values are calculated and updated automatically as issues move through your workflow. No scripts, no manual updates.

  • Better SLA management and process insights

    See cycle times, resolution speed, and workflow health from data that sits on the issues themselves.

  • Built on Atlassian Forge - fully secure

    All data stays within your Jira Cloud instance. No external servers and no data egress, so the app fits existing security policies.
