I’m trying to determine a method to display all the JIRA issues I’ve commented on. I already know the filter that works for issues I’ve created using reporter = currentUser(), but finding one for comments has proven difficult.
I attempted to use a filter like comment by = currentUser(), yet it didn’t return any results. Is there an alternative JQL query or filter available to list issues with my comments?
Below is what I have tried:
// This filter shows issues I reported
reporter = currentUser()
// This attempt to filter by comments is unsuccessful
comment by = currentUser()
Any help to identify the correct syntax would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
hey dave, i’ve run into this before. try using commentedBy = currentUser() in your JQL query. it should show all issues you’ve commented on. if that doesn’t work, you might need to check your permissions or ask your jira admin for help. good luck!
I’ve found a reliable method for tracking issues I’ve commented on in JIRA. The JQL query that works for me is issueFunction in commented("by currentUser()"). This function searches through all comments and returns issues where you’ve left a comment.
One caveat: this query can be slower than others, especially in large JIRA instances, because it has to scan all comments. If you’re dealing with performance issues, you might want to combine it with other criteria to narrow down the search, like project or created date.
Also, remember that JIRA’s search capabilities can vary depending on your organization’s setup and permissions. If you’re still having trouble, it might be worth checking with your JIRA admin to ensure you have the necessary permissions to search comments across all relevant projects.
I’ve encountered this issue as well, and found a solution that might help. The JQL query you’re looking for is issueFunction in commented("by currentUser()"). This should return all issues where you’ve left a comment.
Keep in mind that this query can be resource-intensive, especially in large JIRA instances. If you’re experiencing slow performance, consider adding additional criteria to narrow down the results, such as specific projects or date ranges.
Also, ensure you have the necessary permissions to view comments across all relevant projects. If you’re still having trouble, it might be worth reaching out to your JIRA administrator for assistance with permissions or custom fields that could streamline this process for you.
