We have a scripted field that loops through the Change History and using a string buffer, displays the entire change history into a single field. This is being used so the change history can be exported to pdf using the Xporter plugin. The problem we are running into is when the change history is very long (the script takes over 30 seconds to execute), it seems to lock other users out of viewing and updating issues. Any idea why this might be happening? It almost feels like it's putting a lock on the database.
