Is there any way that we can add comments with custom author using APIs?

[Laxman Khokhar]

We are using below listed APIs to add comments but it is getting author from auth token while adding comments, so is there any way that we can use custom author instead of auto assigning author from auth token.

Version 3 :

https://yourdomain/rest/api/3/issue/ABC-7322/comment

Version 2 :

https://yourdomain/rest/api/2/issue/ABC-7322/comment

Request Payload :

Basic Auth Token Detail : UserName : abc : AuthToken : fghdjwedkjebd

{

    "body" : "This is a test comment",

    "author": {

            "self": "",

            "accountId": "accountId",

            "emailAddress": "test@test.com",

            "avatarUrls": {

                "48x48": "",

                "24x24": "",

                "16x16": "",

                "32x32": ""

            },

            "displayName": "Jira Integration",

            "active": true,

            "timeZone": "America/Los_Angeles",

            "accountType": "atlassian"

        }

}

Hi @Laxman Khokhar Currently, the API sets the user who is Authenticating as the Comment Author. We cannot customise it. Hope this helps.
