Hi everyone, I'm looking to perform searches for results using the commentedBy and CommentedOn JQL keywords. My understanding is that: * CommentedBy should be able to match a person - or also work with the EMPTY command * CommentedOn should be able to match a date - or also work with the EMPTY command Yet when searching a project that I know has issues with comments on them, it's still not finding any results. Any ideas on what is occurring?

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

CommentedBy, CommentedOn don't seem to work

Hi @Andrew_Buckley

Or if this isn't ScriptRunner, what app are you using? These aren't standard JQL functions for Cloud.

Hello,

Do you have scriptrunner ? It's seems that you are using it.

Try this :

issueFunction in commented('by currentuser()')
issueFunction in commented('after startofmonth()')

You can look at this documentation

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/jql-functions.html#_commented

Hope this helps

Thanks guys.

We do have ScriptRunner installed, so this is why the 'non-standard' JQL keywords for these commands are appearing in the advanced search field.

The issueFunction commands mentioned above do work as expected when using the on-premise version.

Based in the ScriptRunner documentation: "Comparison with ScriptRunner for JIRA Server". The commands being used in cloud are correct, it's simply not returning any matches when looking at comments.
