Changing default activity tab

Question

I know there is a way people have been able to change the default activity tab in an issue by changing a .xml file. However, I have no idea where to find that file to be able to edit it. These are the directions I have been able to find, but cannot find the file I am supposed to be editing. Any help is appreciated. * Edit the file jira-install\WEB-INF\classes\system-issuetabpanels-plugin.xml. * Each tab is controled by a tag. To change the default selection, the true needs to be placed in the required tag.

Specifically, a per-user preference.

Some users want "All" as the default, instead of "Comments"

Is there any support for altering this default for cloud users?

Ok. This can be confirmed by the URL. If it looks like this - https://ur company.atlassian.net

the Key here is “atlassian.net” - then you are on cloud.
