We support various comment field formats (date, text, user), but they can't all work in the Issue Navigator, which supports only one format at a time. To resolve this, we may split Commented fields into multiple fields, each grouped by format, ensuring compatibility and functionality in the Issue Navigator.
A large suite of comment fields that display information from user comments.
Date of the first comment → Displays date and time of the first created comment on an issue.
Date of the last comment → Displays date and time of the first created comment on an issue.
First comment (Simple text) → Displays the user who was first to comment on an issue.
Last comment (Simple text) → Displays the user who was last to comment on an issue.
List of commented users → Displays all users who commented on an issue.
Number of comments → Displays the number of comments on an issue.
