Is it possible to reply to a specific comment?

[Riki YAMASHITA]

I'm using this service to manage all the tasks we have in our department. We are mostly using "Comment" function to put something that needs to be addressed or discussed.

I was wondering if there are "Reply" function to the comment because it is sometimes difficult to understand which comments relates to the comment that has been posted. I do not want extra tab like "Chat" where you see "Comment", "History", "Work log". I simply want "Reply" where you see "Edit", "Delete", "Emoji".

No you can't. But here is a feature request you can vote for: JRACLOUD-3406

A couple years later .... I had a difficult time trying to find a way to reply to a specific comment in Jira Cloud.  I found that if I hover to the right of the comment author's name and reference to how long ago the comment was posted, I am given the 'Copy Link' option.  I have been posting that link to the comment to which I want to reply in the reply.  So at least there is a way to trace back to the 'specific' comment that relates to my 'reply' post.

Hi @Riki YAMASHITA ,

I believe that JIRA does not seem to have this feature. There is a open feature request

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-3406

I saw a third party commercial plugin that may be helpful
