Blocked Days Calculation - Output Date Format #59

This is a feature to calculate the blocked days by specifying an attribute representing a block. For example, the Blocked attribute can be specified and it will calculate the amount of time that the issue was/is blocked.

This is not proper markdown and does not render correctly.

I'll work on fixing it and providing the correct markdown.

Cool, thanks! Not a super big deal, but thought I'd call it out.

Are "blocked" and "blocked-in progress" workflow states, or is this looking at the "Flagged" attribute in JIRA?

So, the way this works is that it will evaluate each field in the change log and if it matches any of the entries in the BlockedAttributes criteria, it will calculate the number of blocked days based upon the on/off of that field value. I believe that if you wanted to calculate the blocked days based upon the "Flagged" condition, you would just put the field "Impediment" in the BlockedAttributes section. Like this: BlockedAttributes: Impediment

Understood, unfortunately, that is not working for me. I tried adding Impediment, Flagged, Blocked, and none worked. There is no Blocked Days column being added to the output file.

okay, I'll see what I can do. I'll test specifically with Impediment and Flagged.

This is not adding a "Days Blocked" column to my output.csv file, is it only going to add the column if there is data returned, or should it at least return 0 for every issue (with or without blocked data)?

The Days Blocked column will only be added if there is a field listed in the BlockedAttributes section of the Criteria. If it is not configured, then it will not put the column in the output. Also, I believe that it will not put anything in the csv for blocked days if an issue has not been "blocked" Of course, the definition of blocked is really that configurable field (i.e. Impediment). I'm totally okay will defaulting to 0 if no blocked data is present for an issue. Is that perferred? Let me know and I'll work on changing it.

I think it would be great if it would default to 0 if there is no blocked data rather than just having a null field. This could also signify that the addition of the "BlockedAttributes" option was successful.

Okay, I'll look into make the change and defaulting.

@samiller2013 I'm looking for this Blocked days feature, do we know when the PullRequest will be approved? |

@jpiaggio no idea, I'm not from ActionableAgile unfortunately. |

@johnrjj - would you mind reviewing and approving some of the PRs? Do you have any thoughts on how we could get the blocked days calculation to work? |
