Problem
Comment restriction was added to the new issue view, but it didn't include team-managed (formerly next-gen) projects, so currently, the comments are visible to anyone that has access to the project.
Suggestion
Add the comment restriction feature to team-managed (formerly next-gen) projects.
Workaround
The comment visibility can be set from the search results in the Issue Navigator (List view).
- Search for issues in the Issue Navigator
- Switch to List view
- In the list view, you can choose to add comment and perform other actions on individual issues without opening them
- Add comment and notice you'll have an option to restrict the visibility
Note: Once the comment visibility is set it can't be edited from the issue view.
Comment visibility can be removed using the Update comment REST API call:
curl --request PUT \ --url 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/comment/{id}' \ --user 'email@example.com:<api_token>' \ --header 'Accept: application/json' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "body": "Remove comment visibility restriction.", "visibility": null }'
