Use case

This calculated field returns the user who wrote the most recent comment in a text field.

Create a new Calculated Text Field (by JWT) custom field and name it properly.

Providing a description will help you to identify what the custom field does but this step is optional.

Select Advanced text as parsing mode.

Add the following expression:

userFullName(%{issue.lastComment.author})

Add the field to the relevant view screens.

Remember: All calculated fields are read-only and cannot be manually updated on a create or edit screen.

Check the results

Once configured and added to an issue screen, the result will look like this:

Jira Workflow Toolbox (Server / DC) 3.x > Last commenter's full name > LastCommentersFullName1.png

Jira Workflow Toolbox (Server / DC) 3.x > Last commenter's full name > LastCommentersFullName2.png
