We are looking for a way to receive alerts on items that have been re-ranked. I wanted to start by creating a filter for all the items that have been re-ranked in the last 7 days, but I haven't been able to find this option in JQL.

When I re-rank an item in the roadmap view, I can see there is a change logged in the history of the issue (<name> updated the Rank  <date> none -> Ranked higher), but wondering if there is a similar query like created >= -7d but for ranking so I can see an aggregated view of all the items that have been changed, rather than searching each item's history one by one.

Suggestions for workarounds also welcome!

Hi @Rachel Adelman ,

Unfortunately rank is not a field and therefore cannot be used in a JQL search. I don't know of any way around this. I was just contemplating as to whether automation could interrogate the history and look for specific Change log but I don't believe that is possible.

Due to the nature of Rank it would not be possible to look for changes to it in the history either, see this post for more information.

@Mikael Sandberg , @Jack Brickey , I have a similar question, but in my case, I have a custom field called 'Ranking.' Is there a way to track the history of this field and display it in a Jira dashboard?

@Harsha Shridhar there is, but you would need an app from the Marketplace that can display it on a dashboard. Another option would be to use a second custom field that gets updated via automation when your Ranking field is changed. But depending on what plan you are on this could easily make you hit the monthly automation limit depending on how often the field changes.

@Mikael Sandberg , Thank you very much for the quick response! Do you know which app I should install from the Marketplace? Since the Jira instance is maintained centrally, I’m not sure if I’ll be allowed to install the app, but I will try.


Also, do you have any references, guides, or examples for the second approach?
