Is there a way to create a JIRA Filter for when a field is changed?

Question

We have a scripted field that we would like to build a filter for to show anytime that field is changed from the original scripted field. Is there a way in JIRA to do this using a JQL filter?

Notes:

- It starts as a scripted field

- the only operators available for the field are: ~, !~, is not, is

There's no native way to do so, but provided you count with ScriptRunner, you'll probably be able to set a Scripted Listener which listens to Issue Edited events in order to register the info you need to be able to query.

ScriptRunner for Jira is a third party addon which belongs to Adaptavist, and needs to be acquired independently from Jira, but it is embeded within it, as it an extension of Jira capabilities.

You've mentioned Scripted Fields, which is a type of custom field provided by ScriptRunner, so I'm assuming your Jira instance already counts with said plugin installed.
