Can you revert story priority changes made from the backlog that was done yesterday

[Carlos Gallegos]

Changes were made yesterday to priority in story's yesterday and would like to revert those changes back to what they were yesterday.

Hello @Carlos Gallegos 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Are you talking about changes to the Priority field, or are you talking about changing the Rank of issues by dragging and dropping them to reorder the list?

There is no "undo" function to revert data to a previous state.

If you want to revert the value of a field, you can look at the history of an issue to see documentation of what the value was previously, and you can manually change the field again to that value.

If you are referring to the Rank of issues, that is not recorded in issue history so it is not possible to determine the previous rank and set it back to that.

This was more related to the Rank of the issues/drag-drop order list. If it is not recorded, that answers my question. Thanks for the quick update @Trudy Claspill

Hi @Carlos Gallegos 

This would be a manual action or you could try to create an automation rule.

You could use smart values to get the old and new value of the field priority if this changed.

use smart values:

Old Value: {{changelog.priority.fromstring}}

New Value: {{changelog.priority.tostring}}

create a variable based on the old string and then edit the field priority by using the value in the variable.

If this doesn't provide the correct result, then user a web request action in the automation to call the API to get historical information, see aPI endpoint api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-changelog-get

Appreciate the feedback. Thank you!

Hi @Carlos Gallegos Welcome to the Community!

You can check the Issue History Under Activity and then check the old values and update it.

These changes were done in the backlog and would like the previous version prior to the changes.

@Trudy Claspill Answered your question as changes can not be reverted to the previous version.
