As you are asking for the ability to see Do you want to monitor the last comment in the column, we have solved it!

Our team has great news for Time in Status for Jira Cloud users. Now you have the ability to monitor all the comments, including the last one, using the custom field only.

Here’s a added to the issue? If you're a Jira user and it’s essential for you to get to know who and when has added the last comment, follow this short step-by-step guide on how to do that easily.

Step 1

First of all, you need to create a new custom field in the project for every Issue type. Type the name “Last Comment” for a custom field and choose the “Paragraph” type (as it is displayed in the screenshots below).

Info

Note: You should perform a step with adding a Custom field for each Issue Type (in our case these are e.g. Bug, Task, and Story as it's shown on  the screenshot)

Step 2

Then start the Automation process. Here’s what you should do:

Go to Project → -> Setting → -> Apps → -> Project Automation → -> Create rule

You can start when the Issue is Commented , on and edit a custom field with the latest Comment.

Info

Note:

  1. Last Comment (highlighted in red color)  is a field name. If you name your field differently, please, specify the correct field name there. 

  2. You can format the text template based on which the message will be formed (highlighted in yellow). Copy the pattern from the example and  mention the author of the comment: [~accountid:{{comment.author}}] and display the text of a comment - {{issue.comments.last.body}}

Look at the screenshot below to get a clear vision view of how to do that properly.

Step 3

Go to JQL or native search, or any add-on.

 (for example Time in Status for Jira Cloud Add) -on → > Columns → -> Select Last Comment field.

As the a result, you will see the custom field you have created with the latest value.

That’s all now !

Now you know how to display the last comment in the filter, JQL, or any add-on too. 

We hope, it will be helpful!
