Admin: lost projects for custom field

Question

Issue:  added a project to a custom field.  The previously-added projects were no longer linked.  I didn't realize this would happen so I didn't record the previous set of projects.  And now they're gone.  I want to re-add the missing projects.

Question:  How can I see what projects were added to this custom field before I made the change?  Is there an audit or a history of change for custom fields at the *admin* level?

There is an audit history for the new version of JIRA but I haven't explored it to see if it stores that level of info.

Regardless, you should be able to get the details if you have a DB or XML backup. You will have to check the ConfigurationContext table (or the equivalent XML tag in XML backup) if I remember correctly.
