Need to grab a history of custom_field jira - custom listener

Question

how to grab the history of a checkbox customfield which has only one option to be checked.  Also, I want to see if that custom_field value is updated from null to yes so that I can perform some action.

for eg:

Custom_Field (chkbox)  :  Yes

Here, the value can be either null (when Yes is not selected) or it can be Yes..when Yes is checked.

Any leads are appreciated. TIA

Hello,

I believe you'll want to look into the Change History Manager class from the JIRA api. Specifically the getChangeItemsForField() method in order to grab the change history of your field.

If you need help working with this further, please let me know. :)
