Add second comment field during WF transition

[Matteo Napoleoni]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to add a second comment field during a transition in the WF.

I would need the comment field, because I want whatever users write to end up directly in the comment field, visible in the issue activity.

I tried to add the comment field in the screen I use for the transition, unfortunately the field is not available.

I thought about adding another screen during the transition, but I saw that I can only have one screen.

Is there any workaround?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Matteo

Hi @Matteo Napoleoni 

You can't add a second comment field. Use a post function to add the values of the fields to the last comment added by the user. As a simplified code the post function would do:

comment = comment + field1_value + field2_value

Hi @Alex Koxaras _Relational_ So, if I understand correctly, I just need to create a custom field where users can write the answer and then through the post functions I can add the answer in the comment field, right ?  Thank you.

Theoretically yes. But why you want to add it in the comments in the first place? You can place these fields, underneath the description, which is a more prominent place for the users to see.
