Hi @Sharadkumar Bangera

1) You can check the action as in https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/behaviours-api-quickref.html#_getaction and then execute the operation only for edits

2) Adding automated comment should be handled via listener or postfunction. Behaviour ideally updates the form fields in the screen and is stored in jira only when the user presses the click buttons to go forward. That said, you can set the comment field text to a certain text using behaviours (more like a suggestive text which user can even edit before save)

Refer to https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/5.5.8/jira/behaviours-overview.html for more instructions on the apis
