Adding some supporting comments around use case - we have some Jira projects that are tracking boards for external projects, deployments, contracts, etc. We have a weekly meeting where we discuss both current jobs and those on the horizon. We want to enter the notes into the comments on each Jira ticket so that, contextually, all the notes for a job are "with the job" in chronological order. However, we also want to be able to produce an end-of-meeting summary page. Plus, some amount of the notes for a particular meeting aren't necessarily job-specific i.e., attached to a particular ticket. We don't want to have anyone waste time "double entering" data, so if we could have any comments pulled into a Confluence page from table using the Jira widget that would be great. Best of both worlds.

ll y a un point du 26/01/2021 (sur cloud ou server) qui dit que cette demande n’est pas prioritaire

J’avoue que je ne comprends pas

2 produits Confluence et Jira qui travaillent ensemble et impossibilité d’avoir les informations déterminantes de l’un dans l’autre.

Je ne comprends vraiment pas

I'm looking for this feature to be available across both Confluence and Jira. This would greatly minimize the time SMs spend on gathering the latest updates from teams

yes please

Yes please to this feature!

I agree with @Deepak... we are running into the same issue. Any updates on this one?

This is simply a "must have" to be able to automatically display latest comment/update for an issue on a Confluence page for various purposes - be it a weekly status report, project issue tracker, etc. 

What more can be done to get this prioritized for next update? 

This would be incredibly powerful!!

That's can be very useful.

+1

This would be invalable, as a lot of time is spent copying and pasting the last comment in key issues to a confluence page to create a weekly update report. Without the ability to create custom macros on the Cloud this really should be a feature that is added soon.

+1

This would be an excellent enhancement to the next update

At minimum, I would like to be able to include the most recent comment in the Jira Issue Filter macro.

Please add this feature!

I would certainly make use of this feature. It'd be fantastic to be able to see the most recent status of issues at-a-glance from my production dashboard in Confluence.

I would really use this feature!!!

+1 - would be amazing!

I need this!

This would be perfect and alleviate the need for separate spreadsheets containing statuses.

The last comment is not always helpful. Neither is a list of all of the comments. I would prefer to see one comment but be able to choose which one. For example, I'd like to see the most recent comment which contains the hashtag #meetingnotes. Or perhaps one comment could be "pinned" like in Twitter.

+1 this is a must as we start to use Confluence more and more for reporting to various senior stakeholders without getting them into JIRA or Portfolio. 

Pretty please! 

I've just commented this on a related issue, not knowing which one is being actively looked at.... if at all:

Using JIRA Issues Macro is an ideal approach to populate confluence with live status. For those of us with within a regulated environment, in which we must provide design history for all development activities, having the ability to show the comments in a Confluence page is critical.

I see some comments indicating that only the last comment is sufficient, but the entire thread gives context so is needed to satisfy some stakeholders.  Like someone else reported above, the activity is really what's useful so we have the comments and actions date stamped.

If the macro has a setting to show last one only, or all, or even a date range for example, that may satisfy all of us.

+1 - would be amazing!

Looks like this has been slow to receive much love, would like to add my voice that this would be incredibly useful. When collaborating with colleagues on an issue via a detailed spec on a Confluence page associated with a JIRA development ticket it seems ridiculous to be entering comments in both to ensure everyone has maximum oversight of the conversation. 

This could even be accomplished by allowing the Activity Stream Gadget to be filtered by a JQL query....it seems ridiculous that this doesn't exist, either natively or in an add-on.

I'll cast my vote as well.  Using a wiki for weekly snapshots of the latest and greatest comments would be great.  i.e. create a table where each row is an issue and a column shows the last entered comment

We generally have a Confluence Page based on a Main Task issue for Development and Integration Projects for the Integration part, to document it's evolution. Have to copy and paste from JIRA comments quite a lot.
I think a feature like this would help avoid that somewhat.

Hi Anitha,

If you are using the download version of Jira I would suggest this method. We also display last comment on our Agile boards with this which is very helpful.

http://atlassian.techsolcom.ca/en/news/entry/improve-jira-dashboards-by-showing-the-last-issue-comment

We use JIRA and Confluence extensively in my company as well.
It is very cumbersome at the minute to loginto JIRA just to look at the
latest comments on the issue. It would be extremely useful, if we
can display the comments along with the other columns in JIRA REports
we pull out on Confluence.

I see this request has been submitted couple of years ago and there hasn't
been much progress on it yet despite multile requests from customers.
Can we have some update on this from any one in Altassian please?

Voting for this feature and for CONF-28700

This would even work with a "Most Recent Comment" function. When discussing prioritization, there are constantly questions about the most recent comment. It would save a lot of time if we didn't have to keep clicking back and forth between confluence and jira.

We just started using Jira with the development team, and this is our biggest obstacle of getting the business users to embrace Jira.

I just created a project dashboard, it's not perfect but I attached a version. I'm using the jira macro and jira tickets to track status, I only pull in the EPIC's tagged with a label = ProjectStatus, Only two things are missing:

1. The OverallStatus is a yellow,red, green pulldown in Jira but when displayed in Jira, it's a text field. Can this be converted into a status maco type display so we get the actual color.
2. To add to the comments above, I need overall status for 10-20 projects (aka jira EPIC's) pulled into my confluence page for a Sr Mgmt report. Looks like the Jira status fields are not supported by the Macro. It only need a few sentences, jsut something to provide a hight level overview of the project.

I would also find this useful. And coincidentally, you guys actually advertise this use case in a recent blog post: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/10/project-portfolio-management-with-jira-agile-22/

It would be nice to have this out of the box, rather than installing add-ons to make it happen (especially since those of us with OnDemand probably can't use the add-on anyway).

this would be very useful for the company i work for as well...our use case is exactly as Adam described...

Hi Sherif,

I would also like to do this. For now I will probably look into using the SQL macro but I'd much rather have this integrated into the Jira Issues Macro. Ideally I would like to see the # of comments and then be able to click to either expand or have a popup display all the comments so that the table doesn't get all jumbled.

We use our Confluence pages to store lots of information about various deals we are pursuing and at certain stages we kick off Jira issues to accomplish things. Confluence is our "Command Center" and we want those in charge of the page (manager level) to be able to quickly and easily see comments about different Jira issues without having to jump back and forth to different pages.

This would also be useful to us to track comments for a ticket/issue in Confluence without having to go to the ticket to see them.

Just jumping in here, this would be very useful to the company i am working for as well, We use tickets for developers and confluence for accumulating historical content for releases, the confluence pages are maintained by project management. The confluence pages are prepped and delivered to clients as PDF's. While this is an excellent strategy, the workload on our project management team can get quite extreme - the ability to tag comments and have them aggrigate into some kind of report would be valuable to us.

CONF-28700 answers the "last comment" functionality only.
The thing is "last comment" is dynamic whereas a static information is sometimes better.
Example: Make visible the decisions made on a set of issues at a given meeting.

Why do you want this, Olivier? What are you trying to achieve/what kinds of pages are you wanting to embed JIRA comments on? Does CONF-28700 meet most of your needs?

I think having all comments is too much. Personally I would be more in favor of filtering the comments in which I'm interrested.

Would it be possible to show only the comments that match a certain condition?
Something like:

• Last comment
• Comment on date by user
• Content contains this string

Do we have any context or use case for this feature request? Is most of it covered off by CONF-28700 ?
