Is there a way to schedule comments in Jira Work Management?

[Jonathan Gall]

I have several jobs that would greatly benefit from the ability to schedule comments in advance.

• Scheduling asking update on tasks
• Avoiding sending messages during weekend or when there is no urgency

Our two primary other communication tool (Slack, Gmail) both have the ability to schedule comments for some time, however, I didn't find any way to do this in Jira Work Management.

Is it possible? If not, is it part of your roadmap?

I suppose you could write something to trawl every project, every issues history, where user is X. might take a while. Reducing scope to specific projects might make this doable.

There also some commercial audit plugins that may help you, eg https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/43203

Thanks for your advice. Is it possible to write a plugin doing this job so that the results can be accessible via Jira remote API?

Sure, plugins can create their own REST services and have control over types of response. You would just expose whatever data is needed through a REST call response, using JAXB to serialize it no the server is one way.

But, I dont know much about the plugins, but if I were to write it (with 5.0 in mind), it would use an issue event listener, and log the delta into ActiveObject database structures, which then could be queried more efficiently if remote, and allow the ability to write an audit UI - Im doing this for JEMH at the mo.
