Did you mean: 

Jira won’t tell you who deleted your issues. But this will.

Who among us hasn’t had an issue mysteriously disappear from a Jira board?
If you've never had a ticket vanish into the void — go ahead, cast the first stone. 🪨

And how many times have we just shrugged, cursed quietly, and created a new one because it was faster than digging through audit logs?

Now imagine this...
You open your Jira project on Monday.
Your sprint plan? Gone.
Customer tickets? Missing.
Panic? Activated.

That’s exactly what happened to Alex, a PM at a fast-growing startup.
A rogue automation rule deleted 47 issues without warning.
Team blocked. Sprint in chaos.

Alex then:

😿 Yeah. That kind of day.

And Jira? It doesn’t tell you who deleted what. Or when. Or which issues exactly.
So Alex had to act fast.

What he needed:
✅ See exactly who deleted the issues
✅ Identify when it happened
✅ Quickly locate the affected tickets

Luckily, he found a tool on the Atlassian Marketplace. Who Deleted My Issues?

It did exactly what Jira couldn’t — and helped him restore control.

 

All jokes aside: this app has been a total lifesaver for many users.

It’s simple and does exactly what it promises:
✅ Tracks issue deletions (with user + timestamp)
✅ Lets you export full issue lists to CSV
✅ Helps you stay in control when things go sideways

Don’t wait for a Jira disaster to hit.
Monitor deletions. Export backups. Stay in control.

 

And share you sad cat face stories 😆
