Access both last comment and transition comment on a post-function

[Aggelos Paraskevopoulos [Cententia]]

I'm trying to get both "Last comment" value and "Transition's Comment" on advanced parsed text, but these two values seem to be the same when the user adds something on the transition's comment.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Hi Aggelos,

The following text to be parsed in advanced mode returns the last comment different from transition comment:

count(allComments()) > 0 ? last(allComments()) : ""

Thanks for the suggestion Fidel I'll give it a try.

Any way to filter this list of comments in order to pinpoint a specific comment, e.g. submitted by the Reporter? I which we could use "Last commenter" to verify if it's a comment coming from reporter.

The following boolean expression returns true only if last comment different from transition comment fulfills any of the following two conditions:

• was created by the reporter and later not edited later
• was edited and its last editor is the reporter

count(allCommenters()) > 0 IMPLIES last(allCommenters()) = %{00006}

So allCommenters() is returning an ordered list of users based on comment creation or update timestamp? Cool. Going to try it.

Thanks Fidel.

Aggelos, I close the issue. Please, reopen it if you need more support on the same subject.

Hi Fidel,

I have trouble applying your last suggestion. I believe the allCommenters() method returns a distinct list of comment authors, so just getting the last item from list is not really retrieving the actual last commenter of the issue. So in my case the expression is always false.

Any ideas?

Thanks, AP

Hi Aggelos,

Sorry, you are right. You can use version 2.2.9_beta_3 which returns commenters and updaters by order of actuation. This version of the plugin only solves a pair of small bugs, so you can use it in production environment if you wish to.

Hi Fidel,

the new version works nice. Thanks again.

Fixed in just released version 2.2.9.
