Very Important:
A plugin must be installed in your favorite browser: Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge are compatibles.
First: install the addon (by a Jira Cloud Admin)
Follow the classic way to install using the Find new apps in the Atlassian Marketplace, as shown below
Second: Configure the colors in the status description (by a Jira Cloud Admin)
We can set new color for own states easily. Just go to the Global Admin section of Jira to edit the Jira Statuses.
Edit some Status and put the right color code (we can discover the right color code from this page, where there is a great explanation of all colors ) inside the Description field as show on following GIF:
example: In the global “Status” standard config page of Jira, put in the status description “(black)” or “(springgreen)” or “(pink)”… always the name of the color in lowercase in parentheses
Next setps: install the addon in your favorite browser (by Jira Users)

With these new superpowers you will be able to see all the information you need within the Issues: A Transitions panel to track and audit ticket transitions, another panel with the most relevant Transitions and a last panel with the time spent grouped by status (Time in status).
