Is there a historical Epic data set of changes that can be accessed via JIRA API?

[Arvin Sarroca]

Hi,

I need historical changes about Epics for my monthly report. For example I want to know when the EPIC status was changed from "To Do" to "In Progress" and then when it changed from "In Progress" to "Completed".  Updated column only tell you when the latest change happened and does not tell when the other previous changes happened. 

I tried searching for the historical changes on Epics but could not find anything: https://kingsit.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Arvin

Hello,

You should use this Rest Api to get issue history with the changelog option:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.12.0/?_ga=2.63710255.1405038281.1539585246-492126670.1535639244#api/2/issue-getIssue

I was able to get a sample record using this: 

https://kingsit.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/11043?expand=changelog&fields=""

I saw one of the histories of the change. 

Are my parameters correct? My goal is to return only the needed data so my Power BI won't consume more space. I used fields="" so that fields won't be returned. 

Please advise. 

Thanks,
Arvin

What do you mean you saw one of the histories of the change? Do you mean you could not see all history changes?

I meant I found the specific change I was looking for. I am ok now.  Thanks!
