Time in Status (Forge) for Jira CloudOverview
The Time in Status issue panel displays a per-status time breakdown directly on the issue view. Each panel shows how much time the issue has spent in selected statuses, calculated against a work calendar.
You can create multiple panels with different configurations - for example, one panel showing all statuses and another showing only “In Progress” and “In Review.”
Creating a web panel
- Open the admin panel > Time in Status tab > Web Panels
- Click Create
- Configure the panel settings (see reference below)
- Click Save
- Enable panel visibility for the projects where you want the panel to appear

Tips
- Multiple panels: create different panels for different views. For example, a “Development Time” panel showing only development statuses and a “Full Lifecycle” panel showing all statuses.
- Panel visibility: creating a web panel defines what it shows. You also need to enable where it appears using panel visibility settings.
- Weight for ordering: if you have multiple panels on the same issue, use weight to control the display order.
- Calendar matters: time displayed in panels respects the selected calendar. Business hours calendar will show less time than 24x7 for the same period.
