Reply to comments for meaningful conversations in Jira

[#1]

Hello community, 

I'm Shikhar, a Product Manager in Jira Cloud. I'm thrilled to announce a change that is coming soon. We are introducing the ability to reply to comments on work items - to assist you kickstart a conversation and encourage meaningful discussions in Jira.

What's new?

The new experience will now be accessible across all work item screens. You can now reply to any comment within a work item to help facilitate ongoing conversations within context. The comment threads, also know as the child comments will inherit the visibility of the parent comment.

You will have the option to respond to any comment, and the original author will be automatically tagged, ensuring they receive a notification about your new reply.

Why we're making this change?

We have heard your feedback! Many of you have been asking for this change for quite some time, and we are thrilled to announce this feature. Additionally, when dealing with multiple comments, it can be challenging to stay across context.

Feedback Welcomed!

We are continuing to invest in this experience and would love your feedback to make it even better. Here are some ways you can give us feedback:

• Leaving a comment below.

• Opening a work item and selecting Give feedback in the top right.

• Emailing me at spahadia@atlassian.com.

We’d love to hear how we can help you.
