JQL to List Comments

Jennifer Bader January 27, 2025

What would be the JQL for a filter to list out comments made by a specific user, whether they are internal notes or public comments? And across all projects.

I've tried the below, but it seems to be missing some comments:

 

comment ~ "john doe" ORDER BY created DESC

Hello @Jennifer Bader 

There is no JQL that will give you a list of comments.

JQL is intended to retrieve issue, not comments.

The JQL you have show above will give you a list of issues that have at least one comment that includes "john doe" in the text of the comment.

With only native filtering capabilities there is also no method to filter issues based on Comment Author.  You would need a third party app to add that capability to JQL.
