Issue Details

Select an issue in the Jira Issues tool window to view its details. By default, the details appear in a quick details panel next to the list. Use Toggle Quick Details to show or hide the panel, or Open Details in New Tab to open the issue in its own tab.

The details panel has the following tabs: Info, Events & Comments, and Fields.

Events & Comments​

The Events & Comments tab shows the issue's comments and activity. Use the Browsing Mode action to switch between all activity, comments only, comments by or excluding specific authors, and draft comments only. You can also filter it by text and change its sorting order.

To add a comment, use the Create General Comment action. The comment editor has two buttons:

  • Submit — sends the comment to Jira immediately.
  • Save Draft — saves the comment locally without submitting. You can submit all saved drafts at once using Submit All Drafts.

Changing Status​

To change an issue's status, use Edit Issue and select a new status. The status field offers the workflow transitions available from the issue's current status.
