This routine is available for Jira server and cloud deployment options.

The return value is an array of strings, containing the following values in the specified order: the user who made the change, the date, the name of the field that has been modified, the old field value and the new field value.

Example

string[] lastChange = lastFieldHistory(key);
string ret = "Issue " + key + " was last changed on " + lastChange[1] + " by " + userFullName(lastChange[0]);
ret += ": Field " + lastChange[2] + " from >>" + lastChange[3] + "<< to >>" + lastChange[4] + "<<";

Example (4.0.0)

At version 4.0.0 a structure has been introduced to represent the field history: JFieldChange. Backward compatibility is preserved:

JFieldChange last = lastFieldHistory("TEST-10");
runnerLog("LFH:" + last.user + " Field:" + last.field + " Val:" + last.oldVal + " -> " + last.newVal);
