Asked Rovo 5 times to add a comment to a jira ticket, tagging a user, adding an attachment

Question

why did I have to ask 5 times before it go this right?

* you aren't showing me the text you plan to add
* you didn't tag the user
* you haven't attached the file

round and round it went

reality - I could have done it myself in seconds, this wasted 5 minutes. How could I ever automate the flow with this sort of tool behaviour…

Whilst I agree with the intent, it should not be necessary, IMO, to check something as fundamental as this. There is an expectation mismatch between me and 'the tool(s)' right now, a disappointing one.

Thanks - I understand the value of a 'suitable prompt'. I could not have made it any easier, IMO

Thanks for the responses.

This is such a basic request for Rovo to complete. When I lump this with the other issues I found:

* can't attach an analysis summary in a way that others can access (separate forum post)
* can't tag a comment with the usual @<username> to trigger action

It's not a great first impression and raises real concerns about its usefulness across the SDLC / integrated across the Atlassian tools we use a lot (jira, slack, confluence)
