 Description  « Hide
It took me almost two months to discover the tab "Change history" on the issue details page.

I thought that changes like a change of priority etc. simply aren't logged.
In fact they are but the log is buried behind the "Change history" link.

I think that it would be better to combine comments and some of the most important "Change history" elements on the default tab.
I would suggest displaying a long, chronological list of comments, changes (readable format) etc by default with a kind of filter section on top of it, like:
[ v ] show comments [ v ] show changes etc.

Table like "original value | new value" isn't readable enough.

Hi,

The 'All' tab will allow you to see both the comment and change history information on the same tab. Also jira will autmatically set the tab to whatever tab you were viewing previously. For example if you select the 'All' tab jira will subsequently display that tab each time you view a new issue.

Thanks,
Brian
