If a task has a value in a field, then one of your users has chosen to put it there.

There are three slightly different things to look at:

A user can put data on an issue when it is created. To find out who did this, look at the "reporter" field, as that is usually the person who created it.
It is possible for people to raise issues and name a different reporter - if that is the case, then look at the "creator" in the issue history
After the creation of an issue, ALL changes to fields are logged in the history. So to see where a field value came from, read that, it will give you the user id for the person who did it.

You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
