Desire emailed replies to a Jira Ticket to be added as Internal comments

Question

My business owners are currently not happy with how emailed responses to a ticket are added as public comments. Is there anyway to set up Jira so that the emailed replies are saved to a ticket as an internal comment.

Whether that emailed comment comes from a customer, requested participant, or another agent.

You cannot currently change this.

email replies from agents or customers will be Public

emails from collaborators will be Internal

@Gabrielle Walden-Alves -

I agreed with @Jack Brickey response.  You can try to add the users as watcher of the issue, then those users will become collaborators of the issue.  Thus, their emails will be internal and can only be changed to public by agents.

Hope this helps.
