View former version of issue

Hello everyone,

when I edit an issue's description, a note "Description updated" is added to the issue. I can then view a diff between the old version and the new version of the description.

Is it possible to query the complete old description of an issue? Ideally, I would like to view the issue as it was at any given timestamp. Is this possible?

Kind regards,
Tim

Hi Tim,

AFAIK it's not possible to get the 'original view' of an issue at a specific point in the past. If you change the description (since 1.2.0), a diff is added to the change message in the history.

You can also get a more detailed history over Redmines REST Api. Just enter your URL as follows: redmine.example.org/issues/5.json?include=journals
This example returns all changes for issue #5.

Kind regards,
Bernhard
