var firstDueDate = null;

// Check changelog for the earliest due date
if (issue.changelog && issue.changelog.histories) {
  // Iterate through changelog histories (they are in chronological order)
  for (let i = 0; i < issue.changelog.histories.length; i++) {
    let history = issue.changelog.histories[i];
    
    for (let j = 0; j < history.items.length; j++) {
      let item = history.items[j];
      
      // Check if this is a due date change
      if (item.field === "duedate") {
        // If there was a "to" value, this is when due date was first set
        if (item.toString) {
          firstDueDate = item.toString;
          break;
        }
      }
    }
    
    // Break outer loop if we found the first due date
    if (firstDueDate) {
      break;
    }
  }
}

// If no due date found in changelog, use current due date
if (!firstDueDate && issue.fields.duedate) {
  firstDueDate = issue.fields.duedate;
}

return firstDueDate;
