Is there any API that can get information about transitions?

Question

I need to find out who is the first user which moved the issue from status "to do" to status "In progress". The story can be moved in multiple statuses, it can be moved even back to "to do", but I need to find the initial person who moved it.

I tried to get this information from changelog, but is not really helpful. Is there any API that can provide that data?

The transition field is visible in the app. Screenshot attached.

Hi @Vasilescu Ovidiu

I'm not sure what version you're on but the History tab tracks all transitions and edits to the ticket. Are you not able to find it there?

Hi @Vasilescu Ovidiu ,

welcome to Atlassian community!

You can use the following api https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.9.1/#api/2/issue-getIssue with the parameter expand=changelog

Example: https://YOUR_JIRA_BASE_URL/rest/api/2/issue/YOURISSUEKEY?expand=changelog

After doing that you will have the full history for the ticket including who performed the transition.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Hi @Vasilescu Ovidiu

This tab come from an app JSU.

You can get the full issue history using the REST API like you seems to have already try. What is the issue with the rest api ? You can get the json response then parse it to get the information you arel ooking for.
