Field change - what was the previous value

[Roman Wolf]

Hi Community,

I am playing around with Automation in JIRA projects and successfully send a notification when a field gets a certain value.

I would like to improve this by checking previous and current value of a specific field so I can trigger a much better notification.

It is possible to access the previous value somehow?

Thanks, Roman

You can use the smartvalue {{fieldChange}}. It carries the old value, the new value, etc.
