How do I filter out issuess commented on by a specific user or by a user belonging to a selecte

[Emilia KASPRZYK]

Dear Community 😊

How do I filter out submissions commented on by a specific user or by a user belonging to a selected group?

Do you have any ideas? Is this possible?

Have a good day!

Hi @Emilia KASPRZYK 

Welcome to the community,

JQL doesn’t support this directly. You can achieve this with the help of third-party Add-ons like ScriptRunner/JQL Search Extensions.

Using ScriptRunner:issueFunction in commented("by username after 2025-03-11")

Using JQL Search Extensions:issue in commentedByUser("username")

Hope this helps

The solution I used:

• I added a custom field - commented on by "group_user"
• the field saves the value 1 when at least one comment is made by users from this group -automation
• thanks to this I can easily filter out issues of interest

Simple, no additional cost

Hi @Emilia KASPRZYK 

You can try the Activity gadget on the Jira dashboard. It's possible to select users and filter by comments there:

Thank you, it's a very good idea effective for current checking. However, not very effective for building up statistics for individual teams, which is what I wanted most ;).

Good day.

Hi @Emilia KASPRZYK

I’m Charlotte, a support engineer at Appfire and I’m here to help you.

Unfortunately, natively, you’ll not be able to do it dynamically.

In the app where my team works, JQL Search Extensions for Jira, you can use this query to get the issues commented by an specific user:

commentedByUser = "username"

or users from a specific group:

commentedByUser in membersOf("group name")

Please contact our support if you have any other questions about this query.

We’ll be happy to help you! 😉

Hi, @Charlotte Santos -Appfire- 

thank you for an answer. However commentedByUser does not exist in my instance.
