Get issues with updated specific custom fields rest api

[Ward Schwillens_ Schwillie]

How can I get Jira issues with rest API when I only want issues with updates to specific (custom) fields that happened today?

Hi @Ward Schwillens_ Schwillie 

I can suggest an alternative solution to get updates for the custom field for a specific time frame. If you are ok with add-ons, check out Issue History for Jira. My team developed it to get change reports for any list of issues. You can monitor changes for standard or custom fields.

Export to CSV/Excel is available.

You can check how it works for you with 30-day free trial.

Hi Ward,

To get JIRA Issues based on custom field changes, you could try the below approach

1.  Query the issue history (change log) along with your JIRA Issues
   

   
   REST API Call example

   https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=%22JRA%22&expand=changelog
   
   

2. Filter the JSON results based on custom field change Date.
   
   
3. If you are willing to automate this solution, you could use PowerAutomate to make the REST API Call and filter the JSON data based on custom field change date with almost no code. Alternatively, you can handle it with script runner (groovy) or any other scripting language with some/little coding effort.
   
   Good Luck and let me know how it went
   
   Cheers,

Hi @Ward Schwillens_ Schwillie 

it's difficult to get hold of change data in the cloud.

I guess you've tried to= query the issue to update before sending, /rest/api/2/search with a jql parameter.

issue = DT1-10 and priority changed after startOfDay()

Although not all custom fields support the history searching.

The only option I know of is to expand the search to return the changelog data. Although I've only used that call with forge apps. (note the changelog can be 100's on entries)

const response = await api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/issue/${issueKey}/changelog`, {

Do you have access to apps like scriptrunner to create a scripted field that can be used in the search?

You might be able to do the same in automation based on field change to set a last changed for field.
