Overview

This script highlights the last comment posted on an issue in a script field.

Example

As a developer working on a new project with a large number of issues, I must ensure I'm working with the most up-to-date information. Therefore, it's useful to have the latest comment highlighted, so I don't have to spend time navigating the comment history and potentially work from out of date information. Using this script, I can display the most recent comment in a script field where it is easily visible.

Good to Know

(Server) Use 'Text Field (Multi-line)' as the template for the custom script field and 'Free Text Searcher' as the searcher.
(Cloud) Custom field is created as 'Text Field (single line)' and script is added as a listener for Comment Created event.
