Agreed. The ability to add any comments to the approval email would be useful! Needed in JSDCloud too!

I second Susan's comment entirely.  Since the main purpose of the approval step of a workflow is to interact with the Approver, not the Reporter or participants, it makes no sense that the Approver is the one person who does not receive any comment included in the transition.

We have worked around this by disabling the native approval notifications and set up Automation for Jira to imitate the native notification email and behavior, but also including any comment added via our "send for approval" screen, with internal comments still being included in the email to the approver(s). Unfortunately, the downside of doing this is that even though the approvers can see the comment in the email, if the view the request in the portal the internal comment will not be visible to them, possibly adding confusion.

We need this also for the described use case. In most cases an approval is nothing you can approve/decline without any further information and putting more information in the issue description is not applicaple.  In addition it makes no sense that the Approver should be the only person who will not receive any comment information when adding one during the transition.

We need this for cloud for exactly the same use case described above.
