Automation jira data center edit existing comment

Question

Hi,

I want in some specific moments to edit the last comment. Something very easy.

The new comment, {{issue.comment.last.body}} and something more new

And I can't, I tried several things without any sucess, before with jira cloud that was very easy, but with jira data center I can't.

Can help me anyone?

Thanks

Hi! Not sure if this is still relevant but by following the JIRA REST API Documentation I have found a working version as follows:

The JSON part in the Edit issues > More options should look like this:

{

"update": {

"comments": [

{

"edit": {

"id": "{{comment.id}}",

"body": "{{comment.body.substringBefore(\"Fra:\")}}"

}

]

}

Hope that it helps for those that are having the same trouble!

Hi @j.saceda

With the Server/Data Center version of automation, I do not believe it is possible to edit a comment: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/jira-automation-actions-993924834.html

That action appears to only be available with the Cloud version of automation rules.

Kind regards,
Bill
