I want to create a Jira automation where, if a specific user leaves a comment, issues in the 'To Do'

Hi. 

I have a question about Jira Automation.

I would like issues in the 'To Do' or 'On Hold' status to be changed to 'In Progress' when XLGAMES leaves a comment.

Hi, @chuu 

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

If you want to track comments, and make actions, depending from the person, who made comment, you can use such rule, that looks at accountId of last comment author.

Why accountId - it's unique.
Why last comment - because you are tracking comment events, and you need last comment, not previous comments.
Made a small example for you.

Unfortunately, the image that you have shared is in a language that i don't understand.

Also, it is not clear what issue you are facing and need help with?

To check if a specific use has added a comment, you can use smart value {{comment.author.displayName}} in if clause.

To transition the issue if conditions match, you can use Transition Issue action

Please share more details and then community will be able to help you out
