Show comments on jira issues and link to attachments from jira issues in eazyBI report

[jon33367]

Good afternoon!
please tell me if it is possible to display comments in the form of text for tasks in jira in the report in eazyBI. And how to do it.
I’m also interested in displaying attachments from issues in jira in the eazyBI report.

Hi @jon33367 ,
You can see related question about comments in this community thread:

Pull in all comments for an issue

I have found sample code for pulling in comment timestamps as well as authors. Does anyone have any sample code for pulling in all comments related to an issue so they can be displayed on the screen? I am using the latest comment field which is added as a custom field to the overall Settings for Last Comment Date and Last Comment Text. Thanks in advance, Dennis

Regarding displaying attachments in eazyBI - it is not possible, but you can always use the option “Go to source” to see issues in Jira and their attachments. We have some ideas in our backlog on how to analyze attachments and I can add your vote to it, but it won’t cover displaying attachments itself in eazyBI.
Meanwhile, you can explore this workaround on how to count the number of attachments:

Counting number of attachments on issues

eazyBI does not support attachment import by default. However, you can import information about attachments (count) using some options eazyBI provides. There are two different ways if you are on Cloud or Server. eazyBI or Jira Cloud You can use calculated JavaScript custom field for importing count of attachments or flag if an issue has or does not have attachments. [jira.customfield_attachment] name = "Attachments" data_type = "integer" json_fields = ["attachment"] measure = true javascript…

Hi @jon33367 ,

This feature has not been included as we haven’t heard an urgent need from our customers to do so far. We try to keep the default data model as simple as possible with an option to add things when needed.
