Comment Fields

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.

Create and configure the custom field

To create and configure the Comment Fields custom field, you must be logged in as a user with Jira administrator permissions.

Go to Apps → Manage your apps → Fields - Custom Field Types
Click on Create custom field button on the right side of the screen.
Select Comment Fields and click Next.
Name and add a description to your field then click Next.
Select field type and click Next.
Associate the field to the appropriate screens and click Create. You must associate a field to a screen before it will be displayed.

After screens are selected, calculated fields will display on those screens and calculate the selected information.
