>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #2449489. --> Reported by: [tvn](https://www.drupal.org/user/999848) >>> <p>Since issue summary is editable by anyone, and edits are in fact encouraged, we don't want to highlight original issue author on the issue summary itself, for not to tie them to a later state of summary too much. And also for making it more obvious that issue summaries can be edited by anyone.</p> <p>However, we do want to have a clearly visible historical record of who opened an issue and what was the original state of it. Since comments represent the whole history of changes to the issue, it makes sense to have this record of the starting point as a first comment.</p> <h2>Proposed resolution</h2> <p>When an issue is created, generate an automated comment:</p> <p><img src="https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/automated-comment.png"></p> <p>'opened an issue' could also link to the first revision of the issue. This would eliminate the need to keep "Original post by X" section of the issue summary.</p> <p>Comment should be styled similar to the other automated comments we have e.g. on code commit or test results. There should be no email notification when the comment is created.</p> > Related issue: [Issue #2446889](https://www.drupal.org/node/2446889) > Related issue: [Issue #2230579](https://www.drupal.org/node/2230579) > Related issue: [Issue #2288727](https://www.drupal.org/node/2288727)
