How to show Jira issue/filter last X number of comments

Jimmy_75ejau

Hi all

 

I am new to using Confluence. In one of my confluence page, I have inserted a Macro > Jira issue/filter to pull all information from 5 epics. I manage to do that by using the "key = EPIC number" and choose key, summary, type, created, updated, due date, assignee, reporter, proority, status, resolution. its works.

Now, I am thinking if I can allow x number of last comments per User story

Hi @Jimmy 

Not natively; the Jira Issue/Filter macro is showing fields which are available as column data - there isn't a comment field as such.

We've gotten around this before using a custom field and automation - for example, we created a field called Last Comment:

• Create a custom paragraph field, called Last Comment - it doesn't need to be on a screen
• Create an Automation Rule to run whenever a comment is added, adding the last comment made into the custom field
• Visualise this in Confluence, as a field selected in the macro

You could do something similar in your scenario.

I'd consider whether the last 5 comments is necessary though - if they're looking at that many, wouldn't it be easier to just click-through and look at the Issue itself?
