How do I find out which data has changed in my JIRA Issue

Hi everyone,

I have created a JIRA Issue Listener to be notified about issue changes.

I do get an IssueEvent and an Issue, but I don´t know how to find out what exactly in my Issue has changed.

For example: I would like to know whether my summary, my estimation or my description has been changed.

Is there any way to find out what exactly has changed ?

Hello,

I do not think that it is possible with the available templates at the moment (atleast as far as I know).

You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.

Your best bet is to inspect the GenericValue returned from com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent#getChangeLog

If your using JIRA 6.3+, it may be more comfortable to get the respective ChangeHistory first:

ChangeHistory changeHistory = changeHistoryManager.getChangeHistoryById(event.getChangeLog().getLong("id"));

Sadly we are using 6.2.1 :( . I will take a look at the ChangeLog but I don´t think there is much to get from it ...

Ok, no way ... GenericValue from getChangeLog doesn´t provide any info at all about the value that got changed ...
