Do archived ideas show up as archived in the data lake?

Hi,

I'm building an Atlassian Analytics dashboard for our ideation process. However, it seems like archived ideas don't have the 'Is archived' attribute set. Does anyone know anything about this?

Idea clearly archived when looking in the UI:

Idea not archived according to the 'Is archived' field in the data lake:

Hello,

That is true, this is the current limitation.

Workaround: For querying Jira Product Discovery ideas that have been archived, you can use the "Idea archived" column from the "Issue custom fields" table, instead of the "Is archived" column from the Jira "Issue" table. 

Best,

@Tanguy Crusson Are you able to confirm?

I just noticed that archival info is in the work item history though...
Would still love to hear if this is a bug or a feature. ;)

...and at last I've figured out that there's a custom field (cf[10308]) named 'Idea archived'. Checking if this value is NULL or not seems to give the same result as digging into the work item history table.

I.e., I'm happy with the custom field for now. :)
