Comments & Attachments

Comments

Comments synchronization options are part of contract configuration, you can set up comments properties in Contract→Triggers section:

Comments synchronization

You can choose one of three options:

off - no comments will be synchronized
on
- built-in comments will be synchronized
only form IssueSYNC's dedicated tab - provides additional comments tab for issues matching the contract (Project, Issue Type and JQL constraints) only comments entered here will be synchronized, built-in comments will not be passed to remote issue.

 Service Desk projects...

In Service Desk projects you can also restrict comments synchronization to only internal or shared ones.

Service Desk's internal - only internal comments will sent to remote JIRA, incoming comments will be added to an issue as internal
Service Desk's shared - only shared comments will sent to remote JIRA, incoming comments will be added to an issue as shared


 Dedicated Comments Tab...

Activates additional tab for issue from matching Contract (IssueSYNC 1.x.x).

On Issue screen you will have a new tab called "External Comments"

info

See "Scenarios for Comments synchronization" below that describes possible mix of options.

  • All comments synchronization

By default only newly added comments are synchronized. Enable this option to synchronize all existing comments in case your issue is created at the remote JIRA in later stage (for example with Create Remote Action or on Workflows transition).

  • All comment restrictions

Your comments may have restrictions that mean they are visible only for given project role or group. That option allows to omit restrictions.
