How to look for user who updated JIRA issue using jira-python?

Question

I don't seem to have the permissions to view the transitions on issues.

The commonly used snippet: [(t['id'],t['name']) for t in j.transitions(issue)] returns an empty list on a valid issue. I can see the issue, its transitions from the Web interface.

Insert the following. I use python-3 so you may have to adjust your print statement formats.

issue = jira.issue('project-682', expand='changelog') changelog =

for history in changelog.histories:
    for item in history.items:
        if item.field == 'status':
            print ('Date:',history.created,' From:',item.fromString, 'To:',item.toString, ' By: ',history.author)
