Case/Idea comments to

Jira Issue or not:

• Enabled - all comments on the Case/Idea will copy and sync to

Pulling

comments from Remote System

This setting allows you to control what comments are pulled from Salesforce

to

Jira:

1. All - All comment will sync from Salesforce

2. Private only - Only private comment will sync to

1. Jira issues
2. Public only - Only public comment will sync to

1. Jira issues

Note

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

, and then changed the setting to Private only, all public comments will still be viewable.

Which comments are affected by this setting?

When a Jira issue is created from Salesforce, all existing comments from Salesforce are copied into Jira and added with a label, for example:
