How do I find out the issues which have comments of a Particular JIRA user?

Question

Out of thousands of issues in our JIRA, our client has updated his comments for few issues. And we want to take actions on his comments. So first how do we identify those issues?

@Sravan.Kalla   As mentioned by Tarun above,  scriptrunner plugin can address your use-case though the cost of the plugin is pretty high.

JQL search extensions plugin that we have used has many JQL keywords for comments stack.

For example, in order to find issues which were commented by our client Alex Tobato, below JQL function easily do the job

commentedByUser = "Alex Tobato"

I would suggest you can explore a lot more as I had done using here

Hello @Sravan.Kalla

As shared by @Raynard Rhodes , this will work well but will not scale to thousands of issues as the activity stream fetches limited number of issues.

Out of the box what you require is not supported by Jira, if you have a paid plugin like script runner you can just write

type = story and issueFunction in commented("by tsapra")

This will fetch all stories commented by the user tsapra across the whole jira instance, you can also add the project criteria to the above jql
