Hello @Marzi Goodarzian

Thank you for reaching out.

I understand that you are trying to retrieve a list of issues which had a specific component in the past. Is it correct?

You can use JQL query to return it, like the one below:

component was "xyz" and component != "xyz"

Now, if you want to simply return a list of issues with their first component that was posteriorly changed, I believe JIRA does not provide this kind of feature. An option would be to:

1 - Create a new text custom field

2 - Use the Automation for JIRA plugin to properly add the component value to the custom field every time it is updated, so you will be able to return the issues in a JQL filter together with the history information of the component field.

Let me know if this information helps.

Hi,

@Petter Gonçalves, I am also looking for a JQL query to return issues to which specific components were assigned. Therefore, the "was" operator seems very interesting. After successfully installing the "Automation for Jira" pluging (assuming that the "was" operator comes with this plugin) I am still not lucky:

Did I miss something to make the "was" operator work?

Many thanks, Alexander

Same here, I get an error when trying to use was.

hi @Petter Gonçalves

What should I do in or the to use the "was" operator, along with "component", according to Jira JQL documentation "was" operator is not supported for "component" as a field of reference:

How do you make it work??

Thanks!
