Re: Measuring Time From Created To Resolved
I could be wrong but I don't think Last Update is a valid metric for assessing the task time. I believe someone can post a note to a closed task or make some other change which would change your result.
It might be best to use a plugin which saves the timestamp when an issue goes to status Closed, and use that.
Even that isn't a 100% solution, more like 98%, because a ticket can be re-opened and re-closed, thus re-saving that data. Now, do you really want to include the gap in time between when it was first Closed and the second time it was Closed? I'd think so, but there's that 2% who might disagree.

Re: Measuring Time From Created To Resolved
@Starbuck Thanks for reply , you are right but actually i just want to have a little information at least why this issue took too long and how much time ? maybe main issue regarding the re-opened cases but overall i can trace the rest to know where i have been standing
