Documentation for JIRA 4.1. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

Adding comments to an issue is a useful way to record additional detail about an issue, and collaborate with team members. Comments are shown in the 'Comments' tab of the 'Activity' section when you view an issue.

You can add comments to an issue as long as you have both of the following permissions:

  • 'Browse Project' permission — to view the issue to be commented on
  • 'Add Comments' permission — to add a comment to the issue

When adding a comment, you can also set the comment to be Viewable By members of a particular project role or user group only; or you can allow all users to view it. For users to view a comment, they must have the 'Browse Project' permission to view the issue, and for each comment they must be a member of the Viewable By users (see 'Adding a Comment' below).
