Is there a way to get issue history/changelog using jira server sdk?

KL Kumar

Hello,

I am using Jira Server version and I have a requirement of getting all the changes done for some fields since the issue created. I have implemented this using rest api (changelog), but the response from the rest api is taking too much time (almost 15 seconds) and this is a performance issue in my application. So thinking that, is there any alternative for rest api to get the issue history. For example, is there a way to get the issue history using Jira server SDK?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Alexey!

Thanks for your prompt reply. This is what exactly I am looking for. Now I can get the change history for the fields.

Along with the change log of the field, is it possible to get the name of the person who changed its value ?

Alexey Matveev

Yes, it is possible:

You need to use getChangeHistories(Issue issue) method of the ChangeHistoryManager class.

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.0.9/com/atlassian/jira/issue/changehistory/ChangeHistoryManager.html

def changes = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager().getChangeHistories(issue);
changes.each {change ->
log.error(change.getAuthorObject())
   change.getChangeItemsBeans().each {item ->
        your logic here.
   }
}

Great! This completes my requirement.
