Restore Deleted Issues

Restore Deleted Issues is a Jira Cloud app that automatically captures every deleted issue — with its full content — and lets you recover it in seconds.

When an issue is deleted in a tracked project, the app stores a complete snapshot: summary, description, custom fields, comments, worklogs, issue links, and subtasks. You can browse deleted issues, inspect their full content before acting, and restore exactly what you need — with granular control over what comes back.

What the app does​

1
Tracks deletions automaticallyEvery issue deleted in a tracked project is captured instantly — no per-issue setup required.
2
Stores a full data snapshotThe snapshot preserves the complete state of the issue at deletion: all fields, comments, worklogs, issue links, and subtasks.
3
Selective restoreChoose exactly what comes back — restore the issue with comments but skip worklogs, or recover everything including subtasks and issue links.

The Deleted Issues panel​

The app adds a dedicated panel to every tracked project — a searchable list of all captured deletions with full snapshot inspection and one-click restore.
