Problem Definition

Below information regarding how the Release status is calculated is missing from the standard documentation for Monitor releases from your timeline :

Release status is calculated based on the target dates of any issues assigned to the release. Here are the definitions:

Released - If the release is Released (i.e. released in Jira) then it's status is not calculated. The release status is only calculated for the Unreleased releases.

On-track - If the all issues assigned to the release are starting and finishing before the release date then the release is on-track. Also if there are no issues assigned to the release or none of the issues assigned to the release has dates then also it will be on-track.

Off-track - If any of the issues is starting or ending beyond the release date then the release is off-track.

Suggested Solution
