Examples
Example 1
JFieldChange[] changes = getFieldChanges("TEST-10", "My Text Field");
return changes;Result:
admin|2017-05-23 13:28:05|My Text Field||test|admin|2017-05-23 13:28:09|My Text Field|test|lalaa
Example 2
Let's say we want to get the latest change for the given field:
JFieldChange[] changes = getFieldChanges("TEST -10", "customfield _10200");
JFieldChange latestChange = changes[0];
date newest = latestChange.changeDate;
for (JFieldChange change in changes) {
if (change.changeDate> newest ) {
latestChange = change;
}
}
return latestChange;Done. Program returned: admin|2017-05-23 13:28:09|Text Field|aaaaa|nnnnn
Besides the labels /ids of the custom fields, the name of the standard Jira fields (summary, assignee etc.) can be used as parameters.
If it returns an empty array, you must get the last value of the field from the issue.
The second parameter is the field name as it appears in history.
