There used to be a "Blue Dot" in the Comment cell when there is unread comment in the issue. 

That feature is critical for any kinds of team work which I believe should never be taken away.

Is there any way to get that feature back available?

Hello and Welcome to Atlassian Community @Flavia Silva 

I checked this as well. I can't find a current Jira Cloud setting that would allow you to re-enable this indicator, nor an Atlassian announcement confirming that its removal was intentional.

Since your team is affected too, I agree with @Gor Greyan  that Support is the right next step here. If they confirm whether this is an intentional UI change or a regression, it would be great if you could share the result here.

Best,
Arek 🤠

Hi @Flavia Silva

You're correct. Atlassian introduced the blue dot as an unread-comments indicator in the Comments column, and I couldn't find any announcement that this functionality has been intentionally removed after that.

I'd recommend contacting Atlassian Support.
Also, please keep us informed about what they inform you about that.

@Arkadiusz Wroblewski

Is there a way to fix the above? My team is having an issue with this.
