First/Last Field Change Time

Overview​

The First/Last Field Change Time field is a read-only metric that shows the date and time of the first or last change to a specified field in Jira. This field automatically updates whenever an issue is opened or modified. To create and configure this field, refer to the native Jira Custom Fields page.

You can monitor one or multiple fields with this feature. Depending on your selection, it will display either the earliest or latest change date for the chosen field(s).

  • Latest Change Date: Displays the date of the most recent change to the selected field.
  • Earliest Change Date: Displays the date of the first recorded change to the selected field.
