Assignee History

Documentation for Jira Cloud

Run on Forge

Overview

Assignee History is an intuitive Jira Cloud app that keeps track of every user assigned to a ticket. Standard Jira history is often cluttered with field updates, transitions, and comments, making it difficult to see who worked on a ticket and when.

Key Features

  • Visual History: See user avatars and display names for instant recognition.
  • Timestamps: Know exactly when a user was assigned to the issue.
  • Searchable: Built-in search bar to find if a specific person ever worked on the ticket.

Installation

  1. Log into your Jira instance as an administrator.
  2. Go to Apps > Find new apps.
  3. Search for "Assignee History".
  4. Click Try it free to install.

How to Use

Once installed, the app works automatically. No configuration is required.

  1. Open any Jira Issue (Bug, Story, Task, etc.).
  2. Look for the button Assignee History in the issue activity or sidebar panel area.
  3. Clicking it will load the history list.
