Can you turn of FocusComment when opening Jira's from the Notification Bar?

[Kenni Andersen]

Dear All, 

I was wondering if it was possible to turn of Focused Comments when I open Jira's from the Notification Bell in the Side?

Hey Kenni,

The URLs you get for notifications from the notification bell in Jira/Confluence Cloud include a parameter for "?focusedCommentId=" (and then the comment ID). Out of the box, we don't provide a way to make the links go to the top of an issue rather than the actual comment that generated the notification.

I suppose it would be possible to use Tampermonkey to write a user script (non-Atlassian information and tutorial here) to strip that part of the URL from links in your browser. I personally find using Tampermonkey educational and a bit fun, so if you have some time on your hands that might be something to pursue.

But Jira itself does not provide a configuration option for where notification links take you.
