Can I see the user history of each field in an issue?

[Almighty Drake]

Can I see as an admin when a user has changed a field and what field and Alteration  except with automation because it just gives me a reminder but does not really give me a history, so i have to look into each mail/notification?!

Best regards

Hi @Almighty Drake , are you asking for a history of changes to a custom field from an administration perspective or are you asking to see the history of changes made to the value of the field in a specific issue by a user? There is no history of the former that should be done by change control, and possibly documentation within confluence. If you wish to see changes to a specific field in a specific issue, you can use the history tab. You can use automation to notify you when a change is made to a field and that may be what your indicating in your post.

@Almighty Drake , it seems you want to see the history of changes to a custom field for a specific issue at any given instance. Assuming that is correct then you should be able to achieve this by simply looking at the history tab, and going through all of the history to find any changes to that specific field.

Hi @Almighty Drake 

Could you please provide more details? Do you want to see changes made by a specific user or anyone? What result do you expect to get?

Maybe this article can be helpful: 3 ways to see user activity in Jira

I want to see any changes from a field of an issue from any user.

I can track who for Example filled the field wrong or I can ask the user question why did he changed that field and how did he get this particular result.

I hope you understand my intentions now

Ok, so there are a few options I can suggest (also described in the article I mentioned above).

1) If you are interested in changes made for one particular issue, the History option under the activity section can work for you.

2) If you want to see changes for all issues in one place, you can try Activity Stream Gadget. For example, you can get changes for a specific project or dates. Here, you can set those options.

You will see what field was updated, when, and by which user.

3) If you need more filters and field settings, check out Issue History for Jira app. Here, you can select any standard or custom field and track its changes in a separate column. For example, you can add status, assignee, summary, or any other.

The app is developed by my team, and it provides changes for the list of issues and for a single issue, too.

Let me know if you have any questions and if any solution works for you.

You can export the change history of one or more issues to Excel using the Better Excel Exporter app:

Then you can filter this data to one or more specific users (column H), to one or more fields (column J) or use any other Excel feature to filter, aggregate, visualize the data set.

Hi @Almighty Drake 

You can use the Jira Rest API's to pull the issue history.

Or if you are open for a mktplace app, you can try out our add-on for better reporting capabilities and viewing multiple issues history at once, 

Issue History Reports

You can view the complete change log for your filtered issues.
