Is there JQL or report on who changed order of the backlog or how to restrict it?

Question

Hi,

I would like to know who is changing order of the tickets in the backlog. There is only PO that can change order of the backlog. I would like to have a report where I can see who changed the order of the backlog or restrict moving items in the backlog only for selected members.

I can go into each ticket individually and check in the "history" who changed the issue order but this would work only if I had a specific issue in mind whereas I would like to check all issues in the backlog or selected issues at the same time.

Do you know how I could filter this or change the settings in jira to restrict it? I would be happy with both solutions although second is even better.

I found this older post from 2017 https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Restrict-moving-user-stories-around/qaq-p/620446 that in order to restrict ranking issues I would have to disable edit issue and schedule Issues permission but this would create another issue where users cannot edit the tickets they created.

Thank you

Hi @Piotr Flisikowski

You can see it in the history tab of the detail issue view.

Here is how you can find the history tab:

And you need to restrict the schedule issue permission.

Hello @Piotr Flisikowski ,

You can restrict "Schedule Issues" permission.

If it restricted changing order will be locked & adding stories in to sprints also restricted.

Thanks,
