Last Comment Column for Jira

The Jira issue list cannot show comments, so checking the latest reply means opening each issue. Last Comment Column adds a read-only custom field, Last Comment, with the date, the author and the start of the newest public comment. Add it as a column in the issue navigator or a filter, sort by it, and search it with JQL, for example "Last Comment" ~ "invoice". The field updates when a comment is added, edited or deleted. Comments restricted to a role or group, and internal Service Management comments, are never copied; the field shows the newest public comment instead. Mentions appear as @user, without names. Jira administrators can fill the field for all existing issues of a project from the app settings page. Runs on Atlassian. The app stores the comment author account ID only and reports it through the Atlassian personal data API.
