Weird... I though I already posted the answer, now that I check it doesnt show up.

Here

<%
def commentManager = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()
def comments = commentManager.getComments(issue)
for(comment in comments){
out << comment.body + "\n"
}
%>

Thanks Shehu. It is working and i can see comments in sequence.

Sorry, I am new to scripting so i am confused in making changes to script. 

One last question, can we retrieve author name and date in comments?

Thanks again,

Glad to help.

Sure, to display the author you could use

<%
def commentManager = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()
def comments = commentManager.getComments(issue)
for(comment in comments){
out << "Comment by: " + comment.getAuthorApplicationUser().getDisplayName() +"\n"
out << comment.body + "\n"
}
%>

@Bunty  in that case you can use something like this

<%
def commentManager = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()
def comments = commentManager.getComments(issue)
for(comment in comments){
out << comment.body + "\n"
}
%>

"<% %>" allows you to escape the GString template and run native Groovy code.

PS I'm writing in a separate answer, so this can be marked as accepted.

Hi Shehu,

able to get the comments but all the comments getting in single line by using below

<%
def commentManager = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()
def comments = commentManager.getComments(issue)
for(comment in comments){
out << comment.body + "\n"
}
%>

example: getting like this 

Comment1 comment2 comment 3

But i want every comment in next line as below

This should return all comments of an issue

def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()

def comments = commentManager.getComments(sourceIssue)

Hi Gezim,

Thanks for the reply.

Does the script work in Email Template to retrieve all comments?

Currently, i am using below script in Custom Email template in post function to display last comment in Email:

<% (transientVars?.comment)
out << transientVars.comment
%>

Thanks in advance,

Bunty

In that case $comments.body - will return a list of strings (comment bodies)

Is it possible to restive date and time like sequence in the below:

 

Thanks in advance,
