Hello @Igor Vasilyev 

What you are observing is the expected behaviour, since Jira Server / Data Center don't support getting issue changelogs via the REST API, only Jira Cloud does.

If you Google 'Jira Data Center /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/changelog' the very first result returned is the answer to your question.

Google is great. You should try it sometime.

Would it be better to update the documentation?

You're reading the wrong documentation.

That link is for Jira CLOUD documentation. You are using Jira DATA CENTER, They are not the same thing.

It would be better if you Googled 'jira data center rest api documentation'

Have fun. Bye,

[Igor Vasilyev]

you're correct there is no changelog for data center. Thank you

@Sunny Ape great sarcasm, but can you guess what answer comes up when you google /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/changelog
