Is it possible to capture the date/time stamp and user who selected/unselected a Custom Field

Hello Team,

We have a checkbox field which is on all the screens and is not mandatory. I would like to know if its possible to capture the date/time stamp and user who selected/unselected this. Thanks.

The information will be in the history, but if you need to track it in the issue itself you can use jira automation (https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/features/automation) and you will have to create 2 new customfields, one called timestamp ( date and time picker) and another text field for the user.

Once you created them use the following automation:

Trigger: field value changed on the checkbox

Action: edit fields

- timestamp field with smart value {{now}}

- user text field with smart value 

{{initiator.displayName}}

Cheers
