Can I query on any tickets we have wherein a specific custom field has a change or update in value?

e.g a custom field with integer or a custom field using text type

You can use the app developed by our company, CIFJ - Issue History Dashboard for Jira

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1235591/cifj-issue-history-dashboard?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

You can search, filter and export issue history changes by project.

Hi @Sherwin Soriano

It's not possible to query changes in a custom field. You can only check it in the history or set an automation rule to track custom field changes.

As an alternative solution, you can check Issue History for Jira from my team. It allows filtering changes of a specific custom field.

Hi @Sherwin Soriano ,

Currently JQL does not support the history searches or the "Changed" operator for custom fields and is limited to system fields like Assignee, Fix Version, Priority, Reporter, Resolution, and Status etc.
