Why Doublecheck for Jira

“Keep Your Internal Comments Internal”

In Jira ServiceDesk the default setting for commenting is "Respond to customer" which may result in unwanted communication with the customer by accident,

The result may be that you lose the customer or at least create some unnecessary noise.

With Doublecheck for Jira Service Desk, you are prompted for confirmation, before you send out a comment by accident.

Internal communication does not require any confirmation.

You simply install the Doublecheck add-on, and all your Service Desk Projects will be secured immediately.


For Jira Service Desk, Doublecheck adds the confirmation Dialog to all commenting options below:

  • Adding comment in Edit

  • Adding Comment in Workflow Translation

  • Adding Comment in Issue View

  • Adding Comment in Link Issue View

  • Adding Comment when adding an attachment

  • Adding Comments in Boards

The confirmation PopUp supports full HTML, so you can add your branding and style your text

Internal Comments by default

If enabled, you can set the internal comments to default.
