Unable to add Comments column on filter

[Deleted user]

I want to add latest comments on issues on my filter/ dashboard/ kanban. I am unable to do so. It is important to add so that I communicate the current action plan/ status commentary to stakeholders. Please help.

Hi @[deleted],

You can't do it out of the box. But there are some plugins;

• Last Comment 
• Power Custom Fields with SIL Script
• Comment Toolbox for JIRA

Hi Nupur,

Since last comment is not a field, before being able to display it in filters and so on, you need to copy it to a custom field, one option comes using a Script Field (feature provided by ScriptRunner addon), you can use this code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def comments = ComponentAccessor.commentManager.getComments(issue)
return comments.size()>0?comments.last().authorApplicationUser:null

With the "Text Field (multi-line)" template.

Best regards,

Marcos.
