The Add comment post function automatically creates a comment in the current, parent or any issue(s) returned by a parser expression. The comment text can be composed of free text in combination with field codes or functions provided by the selected parsing mode.
The comment author can be selected among various user fields and the visibility can be restricted by project role or by user group.
