I was trying to use this feature of Workflow in Jira, Software Development Project.
That when the ticket met a certain criterion of status, date will be populated.

We have it before on the Automation, and there were sometimes that dates did not populate even though the said automation ran on the ticket.

I tried transferring it in the workflow, under the perform action. And it is more way better.

However, my teammate and I asking, if there's any way we can see any audit trail, or error log if just in any case this Perform Action did not work?

Does anyone have been using it and compare it to the Automation feature of Jira, which is the screenshot below.

@Donna Esperas Any workflow or automation operation that modifies the work item field value is logged under the Work Item History. You can see what changed on your work item from the History tab as shown  in screenshot below.

Hello @Akash Singh when I check right now, all of the performed automated action I have attached on the workflow of the statuses. The History is like this:Screenshot 2026-03-11 195933.png

Just to confirm, we will never know that it is based from performed action? Whoever trigger the action that's also the logged user that will be displayed in the history logs? Even though on the screenshot above, clearing the delivery date from March 10, 2026 is based from the set performed action?
