updatedBy query results do show the user in the issue history of any update made

[Varsha Joshi]

issueKey in updatedBy("John Deere") - gives me a list of jira issues.

However when I open one of the issues, I do not see any reference related to John Deere in the issue.

Little confused in trying to interpret the results.

Hello @Varsha Joshi 

According to the documentation:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/jql-functions/#updatedBy--

updatedBy()

Search for issues that were updated by a specific user, optionally within the specified time range. An update, in this case, includes creating an issue, updating any of the issue's fields, creating or deleting a comment, or editing a comment (only the last edit).

You should be able to find some reference to the specified user within the History tab for the issue.

If you are not finding that to be true, you may need to open a support case with Atlassian, giving them permission to access your instance, so they can look directly at the data to help you understand why a specific issue is included.

Thank you both for offering to help.

I think the updatedBy works as expected if I just limit either to first name or last name, but not both. Also what I noticed is to look in the 'All' tab instead of history to see a reference.

Can you share the screenshots for more reference?
