Copy link to comment

[Moria]

Hi there,

I didn't quite get the functionality of "copy link to comment" in the comments section.
What it does and how should I use it?

Thanks!

Oh hey, that's a permalink.

The idea is that if you have a Jira ticket with a really long history, you can get a link to the ticket that will jump directly to that comment.

For example, here's a link to the latest comment on this oldie but a goodie from 12 years ago!

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-18012?focusedCommentId=2656407&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-2656407

Cool! Thank you for the explanation ;)

No problem. Oh hey could you please mark this answer as "correct" so that others might find it when they search? Thanks!

For anyone stumbling on this looking for a solution (as I was), you can right-click the timestamp, on the message in question, and copy that address. It has the message ID contained. It will link directly to that message and highlight it in grey.

Yes, it's ambiguous; it's not "Copy this link to comment on this comment". it's "Copy this comment's url to link to this comment somewhere else". What I wanted to do was in-line comment on this comment by way of a reply.

Hmmmm, I’m not familiar with this. Screenshot?
