Synthetic fields are computed by BetterBoard and not stored as native Jira fields:

Shows how long an work item has been in its current status. Displayed as a small insight chip on the card (e.g. "3d", "2w").

Filter operators: >, >=, <, <= (in hours, days, or weeks)

Use this to identify stale work items: filter by Time in Status > 7 days to find work that hasn't moved in over a week.

A synthetic field derived from Jira work item links. BetterBoard inspects "is blocked by" and "blocks" link types.

Values: has blockers (at least one "is blocked by" link), is blocking (blocks at least one other work item)

Displayed as a small red blocking indicator icon on the card when present.
