Issues commented by me in JIRA

Question

As per JIRA documentation http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/latest

The following filter will show the issues opned by me (Current User).

reporter = currentUser()

Is there a filer that will show issues commented by me? something like the following does not work...

comment by = currentUser()

Answer 1

For filtering issues in which you have been mentioned, try comment ~ currentUser()

Answer 2

You can try that workaround I am current using this expression on my saved search:

comment ~ "your.username.here"

This in fact catch the comments where I was mentioned, but if you mention yourself probably should works. I have not tried by myself.

My current Jira is a cloud based one, so I can't tell you exactly which version is.

Answer 3

if you know the name of the user (lets assume the name is Tom you can do:

issueFunction in commented("by Tom")

you can also filter it by date of the comment like:

issueFunction in commented("after -1d by Tom")

UPDATE: this requires ScriptRunner being installed in JIRA server (as JBert pointed out)

Answer 4

In JIRA v7.3.0, the watcher field works well, if autowatch is enabled:

watcher = currentUser()

How to enable Profile > Preferences > Autowatch : [inhert, disabled, enabled]

Issues that you create or comment on will automatically be watched for future changes.

Answer 5

You could also follow the approach presented by Matt Doar:

Use a participants field from the JIRA Toolkit plugin and query that

It's not a a complete answer but maybe a step in the right direction... Francis

Answer 6

If you're talking only about the current user, there is a personal Activity Stream in your profile

It includes actions other than comments, but does provide an RSS feed which you could filter only comments with:

<category term="comment"/>
