Which field indicates the user who last changed an issue?

[Tushar Mhatre]

In Jira, Updated field indicated the time stamp when an issue was modified. I need to know who last modified/updated an issue. Which field indicates the user who last modified an issue?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
 
def changeHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager()
def changeItems = changeHistoryManager.getAllChangeItems(issue)
 
if (changeItems?.size() > 0) {
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager() ;
def userkey = changeItems.sort(false).last().getUserKey();
userManager.getUserByKey(userkey);
} else {
null
}

Try that!

Works fine, thanks!

Where does this code go? Sorry I am new to JIRA.

[Andy Heinzer]

This is groovy code.  In order to run this within Jira, you would need the Scriptrunner app.  There might be other differing solution from other Marketplace vendors as well.

Hello there !

Thank you @Sagar Amlani your code worked successfully for me too ! :)

But it does not take into account the event "issue commented", only updates to the ticket.

If someone comments the ticket, the last updater will not change, if you understand what i mean.

How to implement the "issue commented" also please ?

Here is an exampled script using Powerscript.

Add post function to all transitions of workflow and do bulk transition.

JFieldChange [] changes = lastIssueChanges(key);

number i = size(changes) -1;

if (i >= 0){

string fullname = ldapUserRecord("displayName", "(sAMAccountName=" + changes[i].user + ")");

string lastupdatedby = changes[i].user;

if (fullname != ""){

lastupdatedby = fullname + " (" + lastupdatedby + ")";

}

customfield_39271 = lastupdatedby; //Last updated by

}

You can also use kepler custom fields to get the last comment information as well. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.keplerrominfo.jira.plugins.keplercf http://atlassian.techsolcom.ca/en/news/entry/improve-jira-dashboards-by-showing-the-last-issue-comment

[Gregory J. Murphy]

I don't know how or where to use either of the script suggestions above. Can you provide more detail? Or, can someone suggest how to achieve this with Power BI?

[Norman Abramovitz]

Unfortunately, JIRA does not have one.   You can vote for these issues to attempt to get JIRA fixed.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-1973

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-15235

You can use the changed or was operators on the assignee, fixed version, priority, reporter, resolution and status fields though.
