I want to create an automation which should basically be updating an issue field.

I only want to update issue field if there is a comment added by a certain user (abc@company.com). Comments added by other users should not update the issue field.

How can I achieve this, requesting inputs.

Try creating an automation like:

Trigger ->  Issue Commented
Advanced compare condition -> {{comment.author.displayName}} equals "user name"
Edit issue field

This helps.
Any alternate if in case we have multiple users with the same user name?

Hi and welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Without more details, this is how I would solve at a high level.

Trigger event: Comment Added
User Filter: User who triggered the event = your user
Action: Update Description with Smart Value for Comment author:  {{issue.comments.author.displayName}}

Here's a screenshot of how I would implement it:

Please let us know if this works or if there are more details to share.
