Is there a way to reposition the comment input on a Jira issue?

Phil W

We use Jira with the most recent comment at the top (by configuring the order for comment lists). However, in this case if I want to reply to that comment I have to scroll to the bottom of the page to find the comment input. In that case I can no longer see the comment I am replying to!

Can we have the comment input jump to the top of the list of comments when we set the order to be most recent first?

I'm sorry, there seems to be no such option in Cloud yet.

Hi!

There's already an accepted answer by @twong_atlassian to the similar question:

How do I move the new comment box to the top of the Commenst section?

Hope this helps.

Hey Greg,

Thanks for the fast reply. I'm not sure that the cited solution works for Cloud-based Jira - I can find nowhere to configure custom HTML.

If you know different, I'd welcome your guidance!

Cheers,

Try to put this code to the announcement banner, you still should be able to edit it in the Cloud.

Thanks again. No idea where the "announcement banner" is configured. All I could find was dashboard "introduction" text input, but that isn't shown on issue pages.

Hi @Phil W

Yes, we can change the order/reposition the comments in jira.

Here is the KB article for onDemand.

Hi Yogesh,

You misunderstand. I have already changed the order with this setting. I want to move the new comment input to the top of the list.

Yes, If you selected the Order as a descending then when a new comment will post/commented on the issue then it will show you on top of the list in Comment Tab of Activity panel.

Phil W

My thanks for your attempt to find a way for me!

Hi Yogesh,

This isn't the User Experience we have.

I set jira.issue.actions.order to "desc" when first configuring our environment. We get the comments in the correct order, with newest at the top, but the comment input remains stubbornly at the bottom of the list.
