From 19 December 2017 JQL filters defined in Jira Cloud webhooks will be applied for comment
events.
The following webhooks will respect the JQL filter defined, and will be fired only for issue comments that meet the JQL criteria:
comment_created
comment_deleted
comment_updated
This change fixes the following bug JRACLOUD-68235: JQL filter for webhooks is not applied to "comment" events.
This change will be rolled out gradually, starting from 19 December 2017 and it may take up to 3 weeks until it reaches all Jira Cloud instances.
Note, that after this change is fully rolled out, comment
objects will be removed from jira:issue_*
webhooks, as announced in the deprecation notice.
For every webhook that is registered with a JQL filter and comment
events, your app will start receiving fewer webhooks with comment
events, because they will be restricted to only the ones that respect the JQL filter.
If your app expected that the comment
webhooks were only fired for issue comments that match the JQL - great news, as you don't need to do anything.
And if your app contains some logic that filters out the irrelevant comment
events, you may consider removing it, because the client will now receive filtered webhooks.
If your app should receive all comment
related events, register a separate webhook for desired comment
events without setting a JQL filter for them.
