Filter/Dashboard Results for Comments

[James Stutz]

My team and I are working to create a filter and corresponding dashboard that can pull and display comments from Jira issues defined by keywords within those comments. We've tuned the JQL to the point that it's pulling the correct issues, but there doesn't seem to be a column option for displaying only the specific comments we need; the last comment, or the last three comments, might not be the comments in question.

Is there a way to create a Jira dashboard view from a filter that will display, based on keywords in comments, the relevant issues and ONLY the comments that contain those keywords?

No. But maybe you could consider a different approach. You could create a custom text field and use that associated with automation. When you find a comment added that maps to what you want to preserve then you could copy that comment into your custom field. Of course this will get overwritten each time a new comment is added the Maps to your conditions.
