How to create a custom field value vs update date chart

[Zijian Zhu]

Hi there, I am looking for a way that can create a chart for a single JIRA ticket or issue. The y is the value like 123 from the custom field. The x is the date that this custom field was updated. 

For example, I create a ticket with a value of 100 in this custom field on march 9th. And I update the value to 200 on April 10th. And the chart should look similar below.

I tried to use this https://bitbucket.org/dboyd-atl/javascript-charts-for-jira-cloud/wiki/Home

But the y axis keeps going back to zero.

Thanks in advance

Hi @Zijian Zhu -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The gadget you reference is the JavaScript Charts for Jira Cloud, and it can plot many different things over time...for multiple issues.

What you describe is using the issue change history to plot the changes in a field value over time.  That gadget cannot do that.

Two possible options to do what you ask include:

• investigate the marketplace for an addon which can do this type of reporting
• use the REST API to search and gather the change history for a specific issue, and then parse that to plot the data over time: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/1000.824.0/#api/2/search-search
