Track all changes and deletions of comments in Jira
Data Storage: All data is stored within Jira. No information is stored on Redmoon Software servers
Comment History allows you to track all changes and deletions of comments in Jira (Jira currently only keeps the last change of a comment).
The Comment History tab appears in the Activity section of an Issue. The tab shows existing comments, deletions and any historical changes to those comments grouped together to provide a linear history. The image below shows an example corresponding Comment History tab.
The comments are ordered by the date of the parent comment.
Deleted comments are highlighted by a red “deleted” indicator. Any past values are shown as they normally would be.
The comment history can also be viewed on the right hand sidebar by clicking on ‘View comment history’ next to the Comment History label. This displays the same details as the Comment History tab.
The image below shows an example of the sidebar showing the comment history.
Only Show Edited Comments: This hides all current comments that appear in the Comment tab but do not have any history.
Expand All/Collapse All: This expands/collapses all comments with history so that only the current comment is shown. For each collapsed comment the current comment can be clicked on to expand/collapse the comment and its history.
The example below shows the same details collapsed and expanded.
Below is an example of “Only show edited comments” turned off and on
The privileges for viewing individual comments is determined when the comment is created, updated or deleted. If the user does not have privileges to see the comment then it will not be shown.
