You can solve it by using "Script Listeners" section of Script runner. Clone Issue and issue that was cloned should be linkedIssues. You can easily create a Custom listener triggered by the event "Issue Commented" and add a script similar to this one.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessorimport com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.AbstractIssueEventListenerimport com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent; public class CopyComments extends AbstractIssueEventListener {     @Override    void workflowEvent(IssueEvent event) {         def linkedIssue = "TEST-1";        def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager();        def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();         def comment = event.getComment()        def targetIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(linkedIssue);         commentManager.create(targetIssue, comment.authorApplicationUser, comment.body, true);     } }

You will need to write a listener to keep the comments in sync.
