Diagnosis

Environment

  • The issue is reproducible with all installed apps disabled by entering Safe Mode.

Diagnostic Steps

  • Check the pluginstate table:

1 select * from pluginstate

If you have the following entry, the resolution outlined in this document is applicable for your JIRA instance:

1 2 3 4 +--------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+ | pluginkey | pluginenabled | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------+ | com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel | false |

Cause

The issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel has been disabled and needs to be re-enabled in order to display comments in the Issue Detail View.

Solution

Resolution

  2. Login to the Jira DB and run the following SQL query:

    1 delete from pluginstate where pluginkey='com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel';
  3. Restart Jira

  4. Verify if the problem has been resolved.
