Need history search on labels

Question

My labels on jira has been changed/updated based on releases.

To do the release retrospection I would need to find all jiras which were updated with specific label which is not the present label

I am trying to do this

labels was in (15.5,15.5.0,15.5_Prod, 15.5.0_Prod)

But getting the below response from jira

History searches do not support the 'labels' field.

Fixversion are for bigger releases. For patches and other tracking and reports we use labels. Above was just an example of my day to day usages

Hi @vsajjan

Labels isn't possible to search via WAS or similar historic search operators.

One option for doing this is to use an app instead to track label changes - such as Issue History.

You also vote/follow the suggestion for this at JRACLOUD-36694 :)

Hello,

The field label doesn't support the operator "WAS".

When i see your labels, i'm asking why you are using label for versionning instead of Release ?

Hope it will help you,
