Trigger workflow transition based on a comment

[Søren Degn Jahns]

Is it possible to trigger a workflow transition based on the condition that the issue get's commented by an user in a specific JIRA group?

We are currently using a workflow with a status "Awaiting Customer". We use this to cover issues where more information is needed from the client or scenarios similar, What we would like to be able to do is switch the status of the issue back to "In Progress" when the client (end-user) comments on the issue.

I'm having trouble seeing how its possible since all the options available to the transitions in the workflow are limited to post-click functionality. What I'm trying to do here is mimicking a click on the transition from "Awaiting Customer" to "In Progress", based on a comment being posten.

Kind regards

For those on the Server version of JIRA, this (free, Atlassian Labs) add-on, will allow for a transition upon a comment (plus multiple other types of automation).

It shows as unsupported so it could stop working at any release

This is true. Unfortunately, this is all I know of at the moment (and was easy to get running).

I'm not sure what youre thinking of doing with the labeled Customer Comment. How would I go about setting up something like that?

Not out of the box. You can probably do it with scripting. Why not put a transition labeled Customer Comment for they to use to post the comment and that would transition back to In Progress?
