Automation: Assignee's LastComment into CustomField

[Robert Arcolas]

Hi All,

I'm using Jira Automation (in Cloud) and trying to assign the last comment the Assignee made into a custom field.

So far I can use {{issue.comments.last}} to assign the last comment into the customfield, however i need it to specifically be the assignee's last comment. 

Thanks for your help

Hello @Robert Arcolas 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Are you trying to do this retroactively, for issues where comments already exist?

As a go-forward solution you could implement a rule that is triggered each time a comment is added, check if the comment author matches the assignee, and then copy the comment to the custom field.

Hi Trudy,

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't think to do it that way but I was able to get it working after reading your response.

Greatly appreciated!
