Issue History Export for Jira
Purpose: this Jira Cloud app (built on Atlassian Forge), published by Cody Labs, turns the changelog of any JQL result into one Excel workbook: every field change, every status transition, time in each status and assignee history. I'm the developer.
Everything is generated in your browser inside Jira via Jira's own requestJira bridge, acting as you. Issue data never leaves the Atlassian platform; we operate no servers. The app is read only and requests no write scope.
Proof of who changed what, and when
- Changes sheet: one row per field change with issue key, summary, type, field, from, to, author and timestamp.
- Transitions sheet: one row per status change with entered, left, duration in hours and who made the change.
- Time in status sheet: one column per status with total hours, plus a cycle time between two statuses you pick.
- Assignee history sheet: each assignee period with start, end and duration.
- Run info sheet: the JQL, date range, timezone, who generated it and the row counts.
What about an issue still in a status? The last row is open ended. It is closed at export time and marked "current".
Do per-status hours add up? Yes: for every issue they sum to the time from creation to export.
Does it show issues I cannot see in Jira? No. It runs as you, so project permissions and issue security apply.
How it works
- Open it from inside JiraIssue History Export appears as a global page in your Jira Cloud site once installed. No separate sign-in.
- Choose issues and optionsEnter JQL or pick a saved filter, then set an optional date range, the fields to include, a timezone and the two statuses for cycle time.
- ExportThe app reads issues and changelogs in batches, so large exports work. If a call fails, press Resume to carry on from the last finished batch.
- Download the workbookThe .xlsx downloads straight to your device. Nothing is stored on a Cody Labs server, because there isn't one.
- A Jira Cloud site with the app installed, and permission to view the issues you export.
- Excel or any tool that reads .xlsx. There is no server to run and no data leaves Atlassian.
