Search history for the date a field modified

Jeanne Howe

We are using a "Flagged" field in JIRA to indicate blocked items. It is a checkbox field. Is there any way to search the history of an issue to see what date the field was set/updated.

We are trying to track how long an item has been blocked so we can escalate as needed.

Hi JT,

It is not possible to search for the date when a custom field was updated in JIRA out of the box. However, there are other means to achieve what you want:

• Using a plugin (e.g. the Escalation Service from Script Runner).
• Customising JIRA using one of the methods described in the Automatic Escalation of Issues KB.

I hope this information helps.

Cheers,

Danilo
