      Atlassian Update: 29th January 2024

      Hey everyone,

      Thank you very much for taking the time to participate in this issue and sharing your feature request with us. Your input is greatly appreciated, and we understand the effort and dedication it takes to provide us with your thoughts and ideas.

      We have considered this request, and we regret to inform you that we will not build the threaded/nested comments feature in Jira for the foreseeable future. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we want to assure you that we take all customer feedback seriously. In the meantime, please continue to document your use cases, vote on, and share this ticket. This will help us to understand and prioritise this issue in the future.

      Instead, we want to share a possible workaround that can be used:

      • Use this Atlassian Marketplace App: Threaded Comments for Jira will provide the functionality for threaded/nested comments, allowing your team to respond directly to comments.

      Thank you for your patience and understanding.

      Kind regards,
      Lucy Zhu
      Product Management Team, JIRA

      Atlassian Update: 3rd April 2017

      Hi all,

      Again, thank you for participating in this issue, either by voting, commented or just watching. We highly value your feedback in all forms, and through suggestions in jira.atlassian.com is not different. We use this channel often to learn the best we can with how customers use JIRA and how we can continue to improve the experience for as many users as possible.

      While this is currently not on our roadmap in the next 12 months, we do hope to address this in the future, in a similar way to how Confluence does it today.

      Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

      Regards,
      Kerrod Williams

      Original request description

      Instead of having just a simple linear comment tree, how about being able to have an (optional) threaded view where replies to comments and replies to replies could be seen as such.

      The option to allow threaded comments, linear comments or even comments at all could be on an issue by issue basis as well as having project / global defaults which you could fall back on (if unselected).
