hasComments()

Description:

Searches issues having comments, additionally you can further refine your query by using a number expression.

Note:

A 'number expression' is made of an optional operator representing by its mathematical symbol and a (prositive/negative) number.

By default, this function only includes issues with at least one comment even if you use the '<' or '<=' operator. You must explicity add 'issues NOT IN hasComments()' clause to your query, if you also want to search for issues without comments.

Examples:

• Find issues without comments:

issue NOT IN hasComments()

• Find Stories that have three or more comments

type = Story AND issue IN hasComments(">= 3")

• Find issues within the EMEA project having less than 2 comments or with no comments at all.

project = EMEA AND (issue IN hasComments("< 2") OR issue NOT IN hasComments())
