Why am I missing updatedBy function?

[Mike Olson]

I'm not a JIRA admin, but our implementation does not seem to have that function. We are on 8.8.0 ... what do I need to ask my admin team to get?

Hi @Mike Olson,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Why do you think that you do not have the updatedBy() function? Do you get an error when trying to use it? It is a function that should be available as part of the install.

Thanks for replying! Yes, i do get an error:

Error in the JQL Query: Expecting operator but got '('. The valid operators are '=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>=', '~', '!~', 'IN', 'NOT IN', 'IS' and 'IS NOT'. (line 1, character 33)

And here is the query I am trying to write:

createdDate > -30d and updatedBy(molson)

If I try removing the parens and just set an = sign, I get:

Field 'updatedBy' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it.

If I try throwing in a date, I get the original error.

Okay, you at missing issuekey in your JQL. To search with updatedBy your JQL should look like this:

createdDate > -30d AND issuekey IN updatedBy(molson)

Thank you Mikael!! I had glossed over that in the description of the function. I was basing it off of what I knew about membersOf(). 

Awesome! Thanks again!
