Hi all,

why doesn't JIRA Service Desk show an extended time stamp 30.07.2015 11:40 on issue comments, but only some text like "yesterday" or "2 days ago".

Is this built-in or a setting somewhere?

Cheers,
Kirstin

[Antony Shepard]: Comments that are over a week old have an exact timestamp, but more recent comments have no timestamp displayed.

You can see the exact timestamp by hovering with your mouse over the text.

Hi - you can vote on this https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-33449 for allowing timestamp to be configurable.

This is really bothersome. Comments that are over a week old have an exact timestamp, but more recent comments have no timestamp displayed.

We are having this EXACT same issue after upgrading to 8.5. Did you ever figure out why that was happening?
