Checklists
The "Waiting on" column in Jira queues
Show who each request waits on, and since when, right in your Jira queues and filters.
- Open Settings, then Jira and data, then Jira fields and Automation, and follow the steps for the "Waiting on" field.
- In your service space, open the queue settings and add the "Waiting on" column.
- Each request shows text such as "Customer since 1 Oct" or "Vendor since 28 Sep". It changes only when the request starts waiting on someone else.
- Use the ready-made queues on that page, for example "Waiting on a vendor for 3 days or more", to build a queue.
- The field holds only who it waits on, such as "Customer", and a date. It never holds a person's name.
What you should see
The queue shows who each request waits on and when that wait started.
If something is not right
Older requests have no value. A Jira admin can run Check existing requests in Settings, then Get started.
