How to get the issue 'history revision' in Jira Automation?

Inna S

Hi,

our business process calls for propagating changes made to one issue on to another issue.

To help people understand why a change was made to the issue by the automation, we used to indicate the 'change revision' of the original issue that triggerred the change there.

The history of changes was displayed with the revision number, so we could have an audit record as part of any automated transaction, that would say 'triggered by the revision X of the issue Y'.

Not only Jira UI displays several field changes as separate transactions in the issue history, but I do not see the 'revision id' of the change in the 'changelog'.

Can you help?

Thank you.

Hi @Inna S

I am unclear what you mean by the following: 'revision id' of the change in the 'changelog'. Perhaps you could clarify that so the community could offer suggestions.

Within an automation, I suppose you could add comments/edit an audit field to describe the source of changes. The current issue change history will already show both that the rule acted upon the issue and the changes made, however it will not show things which are in the automation audit log, such as the issue/condition which triggered the rule.

Kind regards,
Bill

In the picture revision number is marked in red. I'm looking for this number in Jira.
Also, in this system I use as a reference, the description often lists several fields if they were changed at once.
Thank you

That information appears to be from some other tool, or an addon app to Jira Cloud.

If it is an addon app which has added custom fields to Jira, you could find the smart values for the fields using the information in the how-to article below, and then reference them in your automation rule.

@Bill Sheboy this is not from Jira. It is from a different system. I'm looking for the analog of it in Jira and do not see it.

Not only Jira history lists 3 field changes made at once as separate history entries, it also does not dispplay the history revision ID.
