How to track reopened issues

Hi there,

I'm Sergey from the YouTrack Team. Thanks for reaching out!

You can track state changes and mark issues accordingly. For example, you can add a tag or update another field to indicate that an issue was moved from Verified to Open. To automate this process, you can use a workflow, which is YouTrack's automation tool. Essentially, you create a script that handles issue-related tasks automatically.

Here's a simple proof-of-concept workflow that adds a tag when the state changes. You can then use this tag to search for these issues, include them in reports, and more:

const entities = require('@jetbrains/youtrack-scripting-api/entities');

exports.rule = entities.Issue.onChange({
  title: 'Tag issues that fail verification (Verify -> Open)',
  guard: (ctx) => {
    const issue = ctx.issue;
    console.log(issue.fields.oldValue(ctx.State));
    return issue.isChanged(ctx.State) &&
             issue.fields.oldValue(ctx.State).name === ctx.State.Verify.name &&
             issue.fields.State.name === ctx.State.Open.name;
  },
  action: (ctx) => {
    console.log('action');
    ctx.issue.applyCommand('add tag Failed-Verification', ctx.admin);
  },
  requirements: {
    State: {
      type: entities.State.fieldType,
      name: 'State',
      Verify: {
        name: 'Verify',
      },
      Open: {
        name: 'Open',
      },
    },
    admin: {
      type: entities.User,
      login: 'admin',
    },
  },
});

This is just an example that you can use as a foundation to create your own rule matching your specific requirements.

Let me know if you have any questions!
