In JIRA can a comment to reference another comment

Robert G. Nadon

Hi all,

In JIRA can a comment to reference another comment. So typing in a comment that refers to another comment, say in another project. I know each comment is stored in the database and has to have a unique to to access within the database so it is possible, just do know if anyone has done anything like this.

I know that I can create a request for enhancement if it doesn't but I was just not sure if it does.

Thanks to anyone who knows,

Robert

Hi Robert,

if you hover with the mouse over a comment, you will see a chain-link-sign. Right click on this icon, copy this link to the clipboard and paste this link to the new comment.

That permanent link is very ugly. Is there a better solution? I hope there's a way to jump from a comment to another one with shorter link name.

@Young If within the same issue, the anchor link can be used to refer to the comment where the actual text might look like something like:

See comment below [#comment-10212]

And display like:

See comment below comment-10212

@Thomas Schlegel or someone please post a picture of the chain link sign. I don't see the sign when I mouse over a comment. However I'm able to find link for an issue (but not a specific comment in a issue)

@cxsup How do you find the comment number within an issue? Please enlighten me.

Thank you

If you have the "New Layout View" of Jira Cloud, you can go to the main URL for an issue. I will look like this http:// yourcompany .atlassian .net /browse /PROJ-1234

From there you can:

Add this query string to your address:

?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel

When the page reloads, Click the Ellipses menu on the top right of the comment
Choose Permalink
When the page reloads, copy the address and you can share a link to this "Old Jira" view of the ticket.

It shouldn't be this difficult. Rich links are something we have expected for decades.

Yes, it's appalling! Does anyone know of an enhancement request to improve this. Frankly, even if the comments displayed their ID in clear text, I could just type in that number and the user could scroll up. But the current situation has a UI that is good for neither human interaction not an automated link.

WTF did they do, this is so dumb. A decade of linking to comments and they kill it off.
