I need a script runner code that runs whenever a comment is added to an issue. The script should display the comment size (number of comments) in a custom field.

Hi @Bhadram Neo and thanks for your question.

You can use the following code in the ScriptRunner Listener. To find the number of comments, you can thoroughly examine the document.

customfield_10071 text field is a custom field.

// Get Issue Key 
def issueKey = issue.key

// Retrieve comments for the current issue
def issueResp = get("/rest/api/2/issue/${issueKey}/comment")
    .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    .asObject(Map).body as Map

// Log the total number of comments
logger.info("Comment Total Size: "+ issueResp.total)

// Update the issue with the total number of comments
put("/rest/api/2/issue/${issueKey}")
     .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
     .body([
        fields: [
          customfield_10071: issueResp.total.toString()
            ]
  ])
.asString()

Hope this helps. If the issue is resolved, you can vote and accepted for this comment.
