How do i count how many times a value has changed in a structure?

Margaret Dessypris Thomas

In attempting to see how much churn is happening, we want to look at the number of times a fix version is updated on a story or epic. How do i count the changes of a field's value? 

We import the PI Name from JIRA Align into JIRA on a JIRA Epic I'd like to know how many times there were updates to these fields to show me how many times we're shifting work.   

What's the best way to report on this? I was thinking of counting the number of changes to  a field value.

Not sure how you can do this on old tickets but for new ones, I would count it via workflow functions.

1. Create a workflow step for editing fix versions

2. Have a post function edit a custom field counter every time it has been changed.

Alternatively, might be able to do it via apps in the marketplace.
