Add the most recent edit time next to the edited button for every edited comment. image What’s more, I hope that tooltip would show the exact time when the mouse hovers over the edit time.


GitHub used to have this natively, I don’t know why they removed it, maybe because it makes the header text too long.

In our case this needs an API call for each edited comment, is this information worth it the call and the extra text?

What a pity😑. And I don’t know this actually. Embarrassing🤦‍♂️.

I think this information is worth it.

My reason is that I can see the update time in the issue tab (if I sort it), but I cannot get what has been changed quickly if it refered to an edited comment.

In that case you'd have to scroll the entire thread and look for the edited date: It's still not efficient.

I had that problem too, what if we highlight the "latest changes" instead? For example by adding a "Latest comment" bubble like we do for highlight-highest-rated-comment

Instead of adding it at the top of the page, we add it at the bottom IF the bottommost comment is not the latest comment.

I think this is an acceptable alternative solution😄.

I come up with another feature request relating to your solution: Change the update informationupdated <time> ago/ on <date> to updated <time> ago/ on <date> by *** in issue lists if sorted by update date, and make it clickable, linking to "Latest comment" bubble you have mentioned above. (Would it be a kind of duplicate feature of the open-issue-to-latest-comment🤔? Though I still hope this feature can be added.)
