Audit Log
User interaction coverage
When normal users work on customfield options it can be very important to trace those changes. Enterprise companies often have compliance rules in place that need to be met. With app version 2.9.0 the Customfield Editor for Jira now logs user interactions to the Jira Audit Log by default. But be aware that the minimum Jira version supported is 8.8 and greater.
The following admin interactions are logged:
Granting permissions
Revoking permissions
Furthermore these user interactions are logged:
Adding option
Deleting options
Changing options
Sorting options alphabetically
Dragging options (=change sequence)
Lastly these interactions are NOT logged:
Changes to global App settings
Changes to event log retention job settings
Changes on all maintenance actions
Setting default option(s)
Deleting default option(s)
Audit Log explained
To view the Jira Audit Log go to Jira Administration → System → Audit Log. The Audit Log can be filtered by the string CustomfieldEditorForJira
. All Audit Events link to either the Field Editor or the Permission Editor page of the field.
Opt-Out: Deactivate Audit Logging
Should you need the App to stop logging user interactions to the Audit Log you can opt-out via the global setting Disable Audit Log. Simply activate the setting and the App will stop logging events to the Audit log.
