I can't find where I read where JIRA will not send out notifications to the person putting making the comment or change.
I want the current user to get notified on a create issue event. I added the current user to the create function in notification, but I was not notified.
You can configure the default user notification to notify them on all changes see Configuring the user default settings
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
