Comment

See: Description

Comment #

Ability to reference a specific comment.
Bugzilla numbers each comment when it is saved which is useful in several different scenarios. For example, Bugzilla includes a link to the most recent comment in email notifications. Each comment header includes a link to itself so you can copy/paste it into an email or document if you need to refer to a specific comment. In addition, when writing a comment you can automatically create a link to a specific previous comment simply by typing comment <#>. Say for example I had a bug with over 50 comments. I could create a link to comment 45 simply by typing comment 45. Bugzilla will create the link when you click Save.
