Filtering for all stories with comments

[marianne doventry]

I am looking for a quick way to see all the stories in my Backlog that have been commented on by anyone.

Out of the box, I'm not aware of a way to this but, if you have the Scriptrunner plugin, you can add the following JQL to your query that shows the work items in your backlog:

issuefunction in hasComments()

It's also possible to put parameters inside the parentheses to only look for issues that have a particular number of comments or at least a certain number of comments.

I concur with this.

Natively the only filter option for Comments is to filter them by the comment content with the "~" operator, and there is not a JQL method to use that operator to find items where the text field being evaluated contains anything.
