    Hi Richmo.  I'm not sure how your results are getting posted to Zephyr Scale (ZS) but I'm guessing it's via an API.  I'm not familiar using the ZS API yet but I can see that both Server and Cloud versions of the ZS API have a way to get to the output in Comments and custom fields:

     

    Server API: /testrun/{testRunKey}/testresults

    Zephyr Scale Server API (v1) (smartbear.com)

     

    Cloud API: Get Test Execution 

    Zephyr Scale for Jira Cloud API (smartbear.com)

Hi,

 

If you want to use something like the Comment field for this purpose, you could instead create a multi-line custom field that will appear in the Test Executions list for filtering.  Custom fields can be created in the Configuration area (image below) and will appear in the filter list.

 

Alternatively, you could post your negative test results into a Jira Issue that is linked to the test case or test step.  That would enable you to take advantage Jira Issue filtering and Zephyr Issue reporting ðŸ™‚
