No, Jira doesn't show this information, although you could obtain it from the database.

Hi @Ravi Vadlamudi, Steven is absolutely right; although you could also start logging this information if you really need it.  

To do it:

  • Create a custom field.  I recommend the type "user picker" so a Jira user's username is recorded.
  • Go to the transition in the workflow just before an issue is "closed".
  • Add a post function called "Update Issue Custom Field" where you can capture the current user's name and store it in your new custom field.
    • You may need a plugin to get the "Update Issue Custom Field" function.  It's available in one called "Suite Utilities for Jira" (JSU) among others.
    • Insert the variable "%%CURRENT_USER%%" in the "Custom Field Value" field.

Here's some quick documentation on this method:  https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira064/how-to-update-custom-field-values-during-workflow-transition-720415925.html

As always, be sure you really really need this info before creating custom fields, installing plugins, and customizing your Jira instance!  Sometimes we add shiny things and find out, years down the road, that they weren't really needed and now we have to do extra work to clean them up!

Hope this helps,

No.  You need an add-on that can provide a function to pull the data from the history, or catch and record it at the time the transition is executed.

Tejeswar Reddy May 11, 2018

Could you pls suggest the add-on!!  @Nic

I'd use ScriptRunner (I am, of course, biased there, as I work for Adaptavist.  I try not to plug us too much, hence the slightly neutral answer above.  There are other options, just not ones I'd choose when I have SR available)
