Edit only own plus "Automation for Jira"'s comment

[Mimi Peters]

Hi there,

Is there a way I can set up people can edit their own comments and "Automation for Jira" comments? I have used a manual trigger to put some default text in "Actions" feature but I need the user able to edit these comments afterward but without giving them access to edit all comments.

Is this possible?

Regards

MM

Hello @Mimi Peters 

No, that is not possible with native Jira functionality. There is no Permission available in projects for that. Users can either edit only their own comments, or any comment.

Thanks Trudy, I discover I could have simply change the Actor in automation rule to "user who triggered the event" then my problem will be solved as they can then edit own comment and not need to edit the bot's comment :)
