Hi @Bhavin Acharya You can do this easily :- 

Select Trigger “Issue Commented” >> Action “Edit Issue Field “ >> Select Field which you want to update >> put in description of field 

{{ issue.comments.last.author.displayName}}

Please find attached screenshot.

I got your solution till second-last step of your comment but could not get your last step i.e. "put in description of field". Where can I find description? can you please guide me?

Hi @Bhavin Acharya  First Select the field which you want to update>> Is it a text field or User Picker ?

If it's a User picker :- {{issue.comments.last.author}}

Thanks
