Exalate Can't Comment on the Jira Issue

    This article applies to Exalate Classic only. If you're using the New Exalate experience, please refer to the New Exalate documentation.

    Problem

    Exalate reports an error that it has no permission to comment on the issues.

    Cause

    The problem occurs whenever a Jira administrator sets a jira.permission.comment.group Workflow property to prevent users from commenting on the issues with a certain status. 

    Solution

    Remove the Workflow property and communicate to all the users that they should not be commenting on the issues with a certain status.
