I need to be able to query when a custom field was changed and I am getting back this error message:

"History searches do not support the 'Verified By' field.

 

I need to be able to do History Searches on this custom field. How do I enable that functionality?

Hi @Paul Smith 

Jira doesn't have a custom field history. All the field changes are stored in the Jira history.

For that you need a plugin like this one:

Or you can go to the affected Jira issue and check the history of the changes at the bottom.

@Aaron Pavez _ServiceRocket_ thank you for mentioning Issue History for Jira

@Paul Smith the mentioned app helps to see changes made to any custom or standard field, when it was updated and by which user.

Here is an example of the specific custom field history:

The app is developed by my team, and there is a free trial to check if it works for you.
