I'm assuming that the only way this would even be remotely possible is by using the API, but I'm not sure what to look for. I know that issues have a changelog, and that shows when the issues key changes projects. Is it possible to look for all Jira issues that had a changelog entry where the key actually changed? In other words...
Lets say we have two separate projects:
Project 1 (key = FIL-)
&
Project 2 (key = ZAP-)
If I create an issue in Project 1, its key would be generated as FIL-10 and if I move it to the other project it gets a new key, and we will say that key is ZAP-30. This would be the same issue with a new key that lives in a new project. If you open the issue and look at the history or the activity for the issue, you would see that someone had made a change and it shows the old key vs the new key.
Even something like this would be helpful:
issuetype = story AND changelog ~ "FIL-"
Why am I looking for these?
I want to go and look for a group of issues that were transitioned from a certain project so I can bulk update them with newly added field criteria.
Worst case scenario, I would hook a working API filter up for this and load the data into Excel (something I've already made) and then groom the data to get a list of keys and then write a grouped filter in Jira, and then bulk update them that way if I have to.
Cheers,
Ben
