Unable to find exact API for fetching Jira issue activity data for custom fields

[Adriano Bittar]

Hi, 

I am trying to retrieve the the field Test Details History without any success.

I was able to get the log using expand = 'changelog', however the it does not shows this exactly field.

Hi @Adriano Bittar

Jira server java or groovy code, you can try this:

ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager().getAllChangeItems(issue)

ChangeHistoryManager 
ChangeHistoryItem

After you get all the items, based on your requirement do some filtering to your the needed items

@Hieu , 

Actually I am using python.

I will try to see if I can find similar functions to that.

In the meantime, if you have a ideia on how to retrieve this data on python, let me know.

Thank you a lot.

Hi @Adriano Bittar 
I'm not familar with python, and dont know if you already try this:
https://atlassian-python-api.readthedocs.io/jira.html#manage-issues

function: 

# Get change history for an issue
jira.get_issue_changelog(issue_key)

[Adriano Bittar]

Hi, 

Actually that is what I am doing just slightly different, but with the same results.

issue = jira.issue(issue_key, expand ='changelog') 

However, it just return the issues modifications on the main fields, but not in the Activity--> Test Details History.

Thank you anyway.

Hi,

welcome to the community

it seems that this tab come from a plugin can you tel us which one ? Did you try to look at the plugin documentation and its API ?

Hi @Mohamed Benziane

I am using the Atlassian Python API:

I meant the tab in your screenshot must come from a plugin, it isn't ship with Jira.

So ask your admin from which plugin this tab come from and look at the documentation API of this plugin.
