How to get last commenter using groovy script plugin

[JT]

I am trying to use the groovy script Escalations service to transition an issue based on the last commenter. I initially set up an escalation using an Include function:

issueFunction in commented("by john.doe")

This returned all issues that john doe had commented on, I only want issues where john doe was the last (or most recent) commenter. Is this possible? Can anyone give me an example of how to do this?

Thank you

This is a JQL question really, not about script runner escalation service per se.

I could not find a function that queries on the last comment/commenter... but it seems like a good idea so I put in https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/browse/GRV-302 .

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for ticket submission.

I have been trying to create a JQL for this but the issue I run into is that JIRA updates the commenter field any time a comment is added or the issue is updated (so even an in-line edit to a field will update the commenter field).
