Building a JQL of issues with assignees changed by Out of Office

JQL can look up which issues have had their assignees changed by the app. In order to do this, the app must be called with the ID "59fb203e1c0767667b2ce0ad".

Here's a full example of the syntax for these queries:

assignee CHANGED BY "59fb203e1c0767667b2ce0ad" AFTER "date1" BEFORE "date2" FROM "username1" TO "username2"
CODE
  • The JQL must contain the expression "assignee CHANGED BY "59fb203e1c0767667b2ce0ad"
  • The AFTER and BEFORE parameters are optional and can be used to track assignee changes over a specific period of time
  • The FROM and TO parameters are also optional.

Using Custom Charts for Jira

Out of Office reassignments can be read by any reporting apps from the Atlassian Marketplace, like Custom Charts for Jira, that support JQL expressions.


A main advantage of Custom Charts for Jira is the ability to connect any number of gadgets to a Simple Search gadget, such that the charts display different statistics on the JQL and filters applied to the Simple Search.

See the example below:
