How to search Story history for admin updated the key when new project created

[Mark Entrekin]

When we upgraded to the latest version of Jira, we moved all Stories to a new project.  I want to search the history of each Story in the project, using JQL, to find the action where the "user.ID" updated the Key.

I want to search for the action "updated the key" so I can find all of the statements to show the old Story ID and the new Story ID.

An example of the statement reads:

    User.Name updated the Key Month day,year, time

    XXX-1234 -> XXXX-9876

The end result is to create a list of all prior Story IDs with new Story IDs.

Hi @Mark Entrekin 

Short answer is that you cannot do that with out of the box JIRA Cloud.

As you note, the information is stored in the history and is not accessible by query.  There may be a market place add-on to do this.  Looking at other posts, I only saw older posts from a few years ago where people used scripting add-ons to do this.  I did not see any suggestions to add this feature to JIRA.

Best regards,
