Jira Automation - request comment when Issue Changed

[Colin Livingston]

Hi all,

I am trying to automate when someone changes anything in an issue that it will force them to add a comment.

I don't want automate a comment being added, as I said I want the user who has made a change to add a comment?

It depends on the type of change. You can add a validator to the workflow transition using the field required validator. This will require the user to make a comment when making a transition. However if you wanted to do it for any sort of change that would require a different non-out-of-the-box solution. Basically you have to have a listener that watches for any changes and then takes an action accordingly.
