Recallbin: Restore Deleted Issues for Jira

Jira deletes issues permanently. Recallbin keeps a compact snapshot of each issue as it changes, so admins can see who deleted what and bring it back.

What it does

• Every deletion logged, including subtasks that disappear with their parent.
• Restore one issue or a hundred: fields, writable custom fields, comments (with original author and date in the text), links and subtasks.
• Backfill: snapshot existing issues by JQL right after install, so untouched issues are covered too.
• Retention you control, with excluded projects. Admin-only.

What it can't do

• Only issues deleted after installation can be recovered.
• A restored issue gets a new key; the original key is recorded on it.
• Attachment files, change history, votes, watchers and the created date are not restored.

Moving from Restore Deleted Issues?

Its records live on the old vendor's servers and can't be imported. Install Recallbin before removing the old app, run the JQL snapshot job, and keep the old app until you no longer need its history.
