I don't think that *Updated by* is available as a column natively in any Jira view that I'm aware of.

If you're looking for a native solution, you could probably use [Jira Automation](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/features/automation) to detect the last updater and write the name into a custom field, and then add the custom field to your issue list. I haven't done this myself though, so I can't comment on the details.

Alternatively, if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you'll have more options. I'll add more information below.

Hope this helps,

Best,

Hannes

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you'd do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a long list of so-called *smart columns* and*history columns* that aren't natively available, including *last updated by user*.

This is how it looks in action:

As you can see above, you can easily sort and filter by your smart and history columns; you can also use them across JXL's advanced features, such as support for (configurable) *issue hierarchies* , *issue grouping* by any issue field(s), *sum-ups* , or *conditional formatting*.

Any questions just let me know!

If you don't mind apps, you can check [Issue History for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220385/issue-history?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=Atlassian_Community&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Comment_Need-updatedby-column-in-issues-list-in-Jira_20240622) from my team. You can have "Updated by" in a separate column as well as any field you want to track. Here is an example:
