Frequently asked questions

How to view ticket / issue history in Jira?
The built-in Jira functionality allows you to see the history of changes on the single issue level.
To get the history of issue: Open the issue → Scroll down to the Activity section → Choose the History option.
How do I create an issue history report in Jira?
Built-in functionality has no options for creating the issue history report. That’s why we’ve launched the Issue History plugin for Jira cloud. It allows you to organize the activity history for the list of issues according to your needs.
To create the issue changelog report:
- Filter issues by Project, Sprint, Label, etc.
- Select the date range.
- Add custom and standard fields to the grid.
Can you view deleted issues in Jira?
There is no built-in feature to store deleted issues in Jira. But you can find this option with Issue History. Read more in the article How to delete and store deleted issues.
Do you store customer data from the customer Atlassian instance?
We don’t store any customer data in our infrastructure excluding hashed customer id and add-on configs. Everything is processed interactively and displayed to end-users. We use application internal logs, but without customer-related data, include only details about requests performance/status/error code.
Can we use Issue History for Jira to ensure CFR 21 Part 11 compliance?
Issue History for Jira helps to meet such Part 11 FDA requirements:
- get an audit trail (log of all changes made to a file or data) to prevent falsified records
- track and keep deleted Jira issues to be sure nothing is lost forever
- export data from the system into a clear document (XLSX or CSV) to present it to FDA inspection
*There is no option for electronic signature in the plugin.

What does an issue change history include in Jira?
Jira issue change history includes all the updates that have been made to a single issue/ticket. That covers status, description, priority, sprint, assignee, and other issue fields updates. You will find out when the changes were made and by whom.
For example, Assignee Name changed the Status 5 days ago from In Progress to Done.

How do I delete an issue from Jira?

We want to provide access to this plugin to a limited set of people within our organization. In this case, will pricing be applicable to the number of Jira accounts in our organization or a limited set of people to whom we want to provide this access?
According to Jira pricing, we’re unable to manage the price relative to the number of actual users. Atlassian offers discounts for the annual subscription, so you can pay less in that way.
Is it possible to backup and restore the data?
Backup/Recovery files are required to return systems to a state where they contain the information and data that was resident on the system shortly prior to the disaster.
Backup tape locations and retention periods are summarized in the table below:
| Type | Location |
| Daily Backup (Server) | AWS Snapshots |
| Daily Backup (Database) | MongoDB Atlas Snapshots |
