Most of the teams in Jira work with a bunch of different projects. One of our Issue History users asked us: “Is it possible to monitor Jira history of changes for a few projects at once? We at SaaSJet, always try to be helpful and find solutions. And also, we’d like to share this example with Atlassian Community so that everyone with a similar issue can solve it.

🟢 Solution: Track all ticket’s updates with JQL filter + Issue History for Jira
Issue History for Jira is the report-building plugin where you can track all issue changes in one place. There is no direct way to get issue changes updated by a specific person for a few projects. With JQL, you can’t get past changes for the updater. But there is a backway.
Step-by-step instruction
- Open an Advanced issue search and create JQL filter:
- Select all projects where you want to find changes:
project in ("Fin Requests","Marketing","Design","SLA Line") 
- Save this JQL request as a filter:
- Apply filter for Issue History for Jira with Updated by option. Choose the user for who you want to see changes.
Done, we’ve got the result!
🎯 4 steps – and you’ve got all issue changes made by a specific person for multiple projects.
*If you are not Issue History for Jira user, you need to install the add-on first.
