From time to time, you will want to refer other people to a comment you have made previously. While you can tell them about the issue and let them scroll down to the bottom until they find your comment among hundreds of others, Jira allows you to create a quick permalink to your comment that will take you directly to the comment of interest.
Go through the following steps to create a permalink for a comment:
- Browse to the comment you wish to create a permalink for
- Hover over the comment to bring up the comment management options
- Click on the permalink icon. This will highlight the comment in pale blue
You will now notice that your browser's URL bar will have something similar to http://sample.jira.com/browse/DEMO-1?focusedCommentId=10100&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-10100 as a sample link (note the focusedCommendId phrase after the issue key). Copy and paste that URL and give it to your colleagues; once they click on this link, they will be taken directly to the highlighted comment.
