      Atlassian Update - 7th of Novemeber  2024

      Hi everyone,

      Thank you for raising and voting on this suggestion. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping and enhancing Jira for all users. Given the high volume of feature suggestions for Jira, we must prioritize those that provide the most value to the majority of our users. After a thorough review by the team, we have decided that we will not be able to implement this suggestion in the immediate future.

      Please remember that jira.atlassian.com is only one of many inputs for our roadmap. We’re continuously learning, analysing and interviewing customers to make Jira better. We encourage you to also share your feedback through Atlassian Community. Please also check out latest updates and upcoming plans from the Jira Cloud roadmap and the Atlassian Cloud release notes blog.

      We understand that our decision may be disappointing. We will keep this feature request open and please continue to vote and add your use case to help with future prioritisation decisions.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      In our JIRA implementation editing of issues is only allowed for privileged users who don't need to justify why they're making a change. We have a lot of fields on our edit screen and even with tabs it's a bit cluttered. We'd like to be able to nix the comment field on the edit screen to save a bit of screen real estate and clutter. A drop-down on the Edit for a screen to enable or disable the comment field would be nice... it could even be combined with https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-4972 to a single drop-down as follows:

      Comments:

      Disabled (Ability To Leave Comment Does Not Appear On Screen)
      Enabled And Not Required (Comment Is Optional)
      Enabled And Required (User Must Leave Comment)
