  • Enabled: all new comments on the JIRA issue are created as a new comment in Salesforce.com in the related Case/Idea.
  • Disabled: new comments will not be created in Salesforce.com.

You can toggle this option by:

  1. Accessing the Field Mapping Interface

Note
titleRegarding Comment Synchronization

Prior to version 5.3.6, all comments (whether public or private) were synchronized by default.

As a consequence, if you change the Pull comments from Remote System settings in this situation, all comments made prior to updating to version 5.3.6 will still be viewable.

Also, do take note that in situations where you have enabled the Public only option and synchronized your JIRA instance with Salesforce.com, and then changed the setting to Private only, all public comments will still be viewable.

This option is to control this scenario for JIRA Issues that are associated with multiple records of Salesforce.com Objects:

  • Enabled - all comments on the Case/Idea will push to Salesforce.com Case/Idea automatically.

The comment can also be pushed manually. Refer: Pushing a comment from JIRA to Salesforce
