Find all issues which commented by specific user

[Anh Nguyen]

Hi everyone, 

Could someone help me find all issues with JQL that have been commented on by a specific user? I tried using the filter below, but it also includes comments that mention the user.

comment ~ <USERID>

Thanks

@Nguyen tuan anh ,

Jira’s native JQL doesn’t support this directly. You can achieve this with the help of third-party plugins like ScriptRunner or JQL Search Extensions.

Here are some examples:

Using ScriptRunner:
issueFunction in commented("by username after 2023-01-01")
This query finds issues commented on by a specific user after a certain date.

Using JQL Search Extensions:
issue in commentedByUser("username")
This query finds all issues commented on by a specific user

I want to find the other. But, There is no other way besides your solutions.  

Thank you sm @Hans Polder _Devoteam_

Hey @Hans Polder _Devoteam_ , any idea why "issueFunction in…" doesn't work on our cloud site? Script Runner Enhanced Search is enabled. Does "issueFunction in…" even still exists for cloud?

Thanks!

Hi @Marvin Brand ,

You can't use the 'issuefunction' directly in the standard Jira Issue Search functionality. You'll need to go to Apps > ScriptRunner Enhanced Search and use that to filter accordingly.

And, definitely check out the support documentation from ScriptRunner's vendor: https://docs.adaptavist.com/es/latest/enhanced-search-jql-functions
