Find username of person who closed an issue

Martin Smits

Hello.

I'm working on a query to find users who closed an issue. Thisfare I haven't been able to do so. What I found in communities is an example with which you can search on a specific name. This is not what I want. The names are unknown.
This is what I have:

project = "Test" and status changed to closed"

How is it possible to get the name of the person who did close an issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Martin - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

We actually have a post function that assigns the issue to the person who moves the card into the status. So we just look at the assignee.

However, if you don't do that, you might can get to it by the API, but that's out of my expertise. Maybe someone else can chime in here. But you are not going to be able to do it by JQL in the advanced search.

Hi John.

Thank you for you reply. It's a pitty i'm not able to do it by JQL. Hopefully someone can help me out.

I had a requirement like this in the past and implemented the following - currently we don't know if you are on Server or Cloud - the query we used was on Server, also I am not sure if an App was involved.

sales = this is just the name of a group - I don't think it will work very well from an usage perspective to query all over the userbase, a specific username will be to specific, though - I can understand that.

project = TEST and status CHANGED to "Closed" BY (membersOf("sales"))

Thank you Daniel.
I have the results. Next, I would like to show the name on my dashboard. Do you perhaps know what fieldname I should use?
