To use the ‘CommentBrowse for Confluence’ first you need to install the ‘CommentBrowse REST API Extender for Jira’ addon on the target Jira instances.

Introduction

CommentBrowse for Confluence makes it possible to list Jira issues with comments. The comments can be filtered by various options, such as creator, time of creation, etc.

Parameters

With the following parameters you can define the result of the table, including both the issues and the columns.

Jira link

This setting is not always visible. It becomes necessary if more than one Jira applications are connected to Confluence. If only one link exists, that will be used and the parameter will be hidden.

In this input you can define a JQL expression to search the relevant Jira issues.

Maximum issues

With this input you can define a maximum count of the displayed issues.

Columns to display

You can select Jira fields to be displayed in the table.

Add a comment column

With this button you can add columns to the table containing the expected comments.

For example you need to see the last comment from the PM and the all comments which have been created by an other user.
