Scopes

The Comment Templates Scopes are a powerful tool for Comment navigation and management. Scopes allow restricting Templates viewing in the Comments section by three parameters:

• Jira user-group

In case a certain Comment Template is prohibited to use due to a combination of the Scope parameters, it will be hidden in the Templates list.
