How to see which comments are visible only to a group

[WW]

I'm trying to delete a local Jira group. When I try to do so, I get this message:

There are comments that only this group can see.

Deleting this group would make those comments invisible.

How can I see those comments that are visible only to that group?

If there is one comment, then I'm ok with deleting and moving visibility to another group.

If there are thousands of comments, then I need to know which ones they are and in which projects so that I can make a decision on what to do with the group.

I've got:

Jira v9.6.0 (DC)
JIRA Service Management Application v5.6.0
Adaptavist ScriptRunner for JIRA v7.9.0

Put yourself in the group and then do a JQL search like:

project = XXX AND issueFunction in commented("group group-name")

This should return all the issues in a project with a restricted comment to that group

How brilliantly simple :)

One note for anyone looking for this in the future, the syntax is:

issueFunction in commented("inGroup group-name")

Oh well, I thought that would work, but it really just shows me which issues have comments in them that I've made. I'm the only member of the group.

yea the JQL will only gather the issues. You would need a to use an app to get comments to show up in search and even then it's probably pretty limited. I've seen people create fields that capture the last comment on an issue, but not sure how helpful that would be.

Yes, I'm thinking this may require some scripting.
