Jira - Show Recent Comment issues
Find recent Jira entries that were commented on
Sometimes you may want to track comments you made in Jira Issues. This might be needed for a variety of reasons:
- Track issues that you worked on to record testing hours.
- Hold Engineering accountable for responding to issues you listed.
- Track team members comments on projects
Currently there's no "easy" JQL query to search for specific information related to the comment field. The only way to search Jira for comments is to use the Dashboard Activity Filter search tool.
Tip: You can set up multiple gadgets on a Dashboard to perform different searches.
