Is there a way to auto populate text in a comment screen that pops up on transition?

Eric Blumberg

I have a transition that when executes, it prompts a blank comment screen to come up and force the user to leave a comment. Is there a way to Pre-populate comment screen with "Approved by {USER} ON {TIMESTAMP}" (ex: Approved By John Smith on 1/25/19 1:05PM)

You can definitely get this done with Automation for Jira using the trigger for when the issue is transitioned, edit issue function, and smart values.

Doesn't the issue history record the approver and time of approval if you use the approval function, though? I might be wrong about this but it's what I remembered.

I should clarify, we are not using the service desk, I am just naming the transition approved.

Is there a way to achieve this with scriptrunner, or just within JIRA?

With Scriptrunner you could follow something from this post:

Have a post function for that transition that adds the assignee and date. Pretty sure you can add some text in there too.

Thanks for the fantastically quick reply.

I looked into the link, but I am not sure how I would get this configured in the cloud version of scriptrunner.
