Script to delete all comments

Question

I am attempting to write a bit of code that will be used as a scriptrunner postfunction. The goal is that when an issue gets transitioned all of the comments get deleted.

So far I have come up with this

delete("/rest/api/2/issue/22718")
.header("Content-Type", "application/json")
.body([
fields:[
comment
]
])

but I get an error about the comment

CorrelationId: 894d7210-838d-4549-b5ea-cf7bbb005c07
RUN Script identifier: 9e6a3000-0bd1-4fa4-9545-d301488a8259  Took: 100ms Logs:
2019-12-26 23:20:37.553 ERROR - No such property: comment for class: Script1 on line 4
2019-12-26 23:20:37.572 ERROR - Class: com.adaptavist.sr.cloud.events.ConsoleScriptExecution, Config: [:]

What am I doing wrong here? Im having trouble finding information about deleting with scriptrunner.

Ive also looked at the atlassian documentation and the delete comment command but I dont really understand how to translate the api request into a scriptrunner script.

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueIdOrKey-comment-id-delete

any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Alex Piwowar ,

I referred the ScriptRunner cloud documentation.

https://scriptrunner-docs.connect.adaptavist.com/jiracloud/

It should help you if you want to integrate additional functionality using ScriptRunner.

Oh wow that worked, thanks.

May I ask, how do you figure all of this out?

In the first line what does the .header do? and the Map?

Where do you the it.self from in the loop?

Hi @Alex Piwowar ,

Apologies for the delay, please do check the script I have attached.

Pseudo code:

* Get all the comments in an issue
* Loop over the comments and delete it.

def response = get('/rest/api/3/issue/TP4-1/comment').header('Content-Type', 'application/json').asObject(Map)

def comments = response.body.comments

if(comments){
 comments.each{
  delete(it.self.toString()).header('Content-Type', 'application/json').asObject(Map)
 } 
}
