Is there a way to see the last update author?

Question

I can see When the JIRA issue was last updated with the Updated field, but I don't see how I can get Who did the update.  I would provide an easy way to see tickets in my filter that have had outside input and therefore may need my attention.

Update:

So, since I don't want to change the status of the ticket, would it still be possible to create a custom field (not hidden) that gets updated to the username of the user who last updated the issue using a custom event listener or a post-function? In addition, can this custom field be displayed in the JIRA list?

I am not a JIRA administrator, so I would have to ask them to create this and I want to make sure it will work before I give them the task.

Here is an exampled script using Powerscript.

Add post function to all transitions of workflow and do bulk transition.

JFieldChange [] changes = lastIssueChanges(key);

number i = size(changes) -1;

if (i >= 0){

string fullname = ldapUserRecord("displayName", "(sAMAccountName=" + changes[i].user + ")");

string lastupdatedby = changes[i].user;

if (fullname != ""){

lastupdatedby = fullname + " (" + lastupdatedby + ")";

}

customfield_39271 = lastupdatedby; //Last updated by

}

Yes you can do it with a custom field like "Last updated by: " with a post-function/listener that auto updates it.
