Issues updated in the last week with update details

[Big Jim]

I would like to generate a report of a certain JIRA Issue type updated in the last week and include details of what the update was. We need to report to our customer a detailed over view of what was done.

Ideal would be to be able to filter the activity log based on a query. I can see the log can be filtered by project, date etc. but not by query.

I guess I can't be the only person who needs to provide more detailed reports than just a list of tickets updated ?

Any tips would be most welcome.

Dear @Big Jim,

not possible with Jira on-board functionality. Ether you install a custom plugin or you query the REST API.

Sample:

curl -v -u user:passwd -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://server:port/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=TST&expand=changelog

The reault contains all found issues with its history (changelog). With some smart parsing logic you will get what you need. This can be done for example with PHP or python - the output could be a CSV file.

Alternatively you can work with the JQL parameter "changed" for example

project = TST and priority changed BEFORE endOfWeek() AND priority changed AFTER startOfWeek()

But you have to do this for each field. :/

So long

Thomas
