How can I filter to show all cases I have commented on

Alex Radford

I would like to use a filter to see all the cases I have written a comment on (within x days). 

As a side note, I would also like to see a count of how many comments I have made (within x days).

I have tried using my profile and seeing my 'worked on' cases, but this only looks to be a filter for cases where I am the assignee, reporter, creator or watcher. This would not include cases I comment on where I am not one of the above. 

Ideally there would be a keyword like 'cases commented on by' = currentuser()

Is this possible?

Hello @Alex Radford 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You can find the fields and functions available for use in Advanced JQL here:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/jql-functions/

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/jql-fields/

The only filtering provided natively would be on the text of comments.

Third party apps can extend JQL capabilities. You may or may not already have some available. You could check with your local Jira Administrators to find out. Here are some examples:

Enhanced Search has commentedOn and commentedBy for filtering by when comments were made and filtering separately by the comment author. It doesn't appear that these can be combined to find issues based on comments by a particular author during a particular time period.

JQL Tricks has similar functions

There are several such apps that might have functions that would help you achieve your goal, though neither of the two above appear to be able to get quite what you want; combining filtering on comment author and comment date.
