How to display last comment in filters and JQL

As you are asking for the ability to see 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 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).

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, and edit a custom field with the latest Comment.

{

    "fields": {

        "Thanks for raising {{issue.key}}. {{issue.comments.last.body}}"

        }}

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

Step 3

Go to Time in Status for Jira Cloud Add-on → Columns → Select Last Comment field.

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

That’s all now you know how to display the last comment in the filter, JQL, or any add-on.

We hope, it will be helpful!
