Hello Jira Community,

Can I query previously tagged tasks? Let's say Task1 is tagged with 'sprint1' then later removed. Can I query some history or log to show that Task1 ever had the 'sprint1' tag?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @PeterLouischaroen 

History searches are limited in Jira:

History searches with & without JQL [10 examples]

In your case, you can check out the Issue History for Jira app. My team developed it as a diary for every past activity. Here you can filter the issues by specific options (project, sprint, label, date range, etc.) and track changes for required fields.

Here is an example with labels:

Try if it can help with your case (30-day free trial).

Hello @PeterLouischaroen 

Welcome to the community.

Jira does not natively support querying the history of Jira issues except in very limited cases (refer to CHANGED and WAS operators). This article also discusses those operators.

For more extensive searching capabilities into issue history you would need to look at a third party application.

There are a few apps that extend the search capabilities, but I have not explored the options they provide specifically for searching the history.
