Aggregate comments from Epics and add them to their Initiative

Mohamed Tafifet

Hi team,

Our structure is Initiative > Epics > Tasks > sub-tasks

We are trying to get the last comment from all the epics under an Initiative, aggregate them and add them as last comment to the parent link (their Initiative):

Epic_N_1
Comment 1

Epic_N_2
Comment 2

Epic_N_3
Comment 3

Results:

Initiative_N
Comment 1
Comment 2
Comment 3

Where:
Initiative_N is the parent link of Epic_N_1 & Epic_N_2 & Epic_N_3

Is this possible?
If so, please let us know how to do it

Hello @Mohamed Tafifet ,

David from ALM Works here. Welcome to the Community!

When you say your "structure", are you referring to our product, Structure - Flexible Jira Project Management?

If so, we just recently introduced the ability to use an Attribute to Issue Field Effector to add a comment (8.1.1). You would want to use a formula like ARRAY#children{last_comment} as your attribute.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Best,
David

Hi @Mohamed Tafifet ,

If you have the app Jira Misc Workflow Extensions or ScriptRunner you can achieve this.

With JMWE you can create an event-based action.

Event: issue commented
Scope: the projects and issue types you want to have in scope
Post function: Comment related issues
- Which issues: parent issue of the the current issue in the Portfolio hierarchy
- Comment type: Groovy expression
- Comment text: "(" + issue.get("issuekey") + ") " + issue.get("comment")?.last()?.body

I've added the "(" + issue.get("issuekey") + ") " + part so that it also posts the issue key of the Epic on which the Comment was posted.
