Jira automation - is it possible to find out the most recent update in a checkbox field

[Deepa Narasimhan]

Using Jira automation, is it possible to find the value that was most recently checked in a checkbox field with multiple values?

When a new value is checked off a To do list check box field, I want to capture what was checked and the date & time.

Thank you!

Hi @Deepa Narasimhan 

The answer depends upon the type of checkbox fields you are using:

• With a built-in checkbox fields, you could either trigger on a change to the field and save old value from {{changelog.myCheckboxField.fromString}} or call the REST API to check the issue history
• With a checkbox field from a marketplace addon, please check what history and automation functions are supported by the addon to learn what is possible

Kind regards,
