Hi Ankit,

When an issue is deleted in Jira, the issueDeleted event does provide only limited details like summary, issue type, assignee, and project. Unfortunately, comments are not included in the payload for deleted issues.

A workaround is to capture comments before the deletion using the issueUpdated or commentCreated events and store them externally (like in a database or log). That way, if the issue gets deleted later, you still have access to the comments.

Jira’s API does not allow fetching comments of a deleted issue directly after deletion, so pre-capturing data is the safest approach.

Hope this helps!
