How can I reply to a Jira comment?

[zhenya.elfimova]

Hello everyone,

our team has an issue in Jira comments. If we discuss multiple topics related to the same issue, the comments become messy and it is quite difficult to understand whether a comment is related to one comment or another. We decided to create a Confluence page for each sprint. We add Jira issues to this page and then add and respond to comments on this page, but switching between Confluence and Jira is not convenient for us.

Do you know of an alternative way we can reply to a comment in a thread and follow a simple discussion in a Jira ticket?

Thanks!

HI @zhenya.elfimova 

I would suggest breaking the issue into Sub-tasks if you have that much discussion going on with multiple themes.

@John Funk thank you for your suggestion!

I looked into this a bit and found the following request [JRACLOUD-3406] Threaded / nested Comments / give the ability to reply to a comment - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products., looks like it's a very old request, but at the same time I see some activity in it... hopefully we'll hear from Atlassian soon...

I think many people are waiting for this feature?

I would not hold your breath, haha. There's no activity by Atlassian - that tells you all you need to know.
