How can I track audit trail of the checklist integrated with my JIRA user story?

Question

Hi,

I've added the checklist functionality in my project. I wish to refer that checklist as the user acceptance criteria/DoD. Though every change made to that checklist is reflected in the history tab but it doesn't tell me who (which user) has made that change. It rather tells me - "Checklist for JIRA updated the Checklist Progress …"

Is there any way through which I can maintain the required audit trail? Please help.

Hi Earl,

Thanks for writing a response. I tried Issue History Collector plug-in but it's not serving the required purpose.

Let me try elaborating my issue a little here -

I've downloaded an add-on app called 'Checklist for JIRA' which enables me to plug customized checklists to my user stories. The objective is to refer to these checklists as Definition of Done, UAT and other required fulfilment criteria to be fulfilled before marking a user story as Done. Now, if any update is done to the checklist, the history/audit trail of the story does not tell me who has done that change. It rather tells me that a generic user has done some change to the checklist. I wish to know which user has done that change (checking/un-checking any of the checklist).

Hi Akash,

The history of changes to an issue is tracked in the issue history tab on the Classic projects and the History Feed for next-Gen projects of each issue.

You can also collect the issue history data from the API doing a GET on the issue and expanding the changelog:

GET /rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/changelog

There are also various add-on apps that can be used to expand the native issue history options to give extra details about the data.  Issue History Collector looks like it might be a good one from your described use case.
