How to list all Pull Request comments, once merged, in a Jira comment via Github?

Question

Is listing all PR comments in JIRA, once it has been merged, possible using this feature? I don't see it listed anywhere under JIRA smart values.

Tools/Apps: Jira (Cloud), GitHub for Jira

I am trying to create an automation rule that would look like:

* When: Pull request merged
* Then: Add comment to issue (see below for comment body)

{{pullRequest.comments}}   <- trying to output ALL comments in the PR that was merged to be sent into the created Jira comment via the automation rule

Hi @Andrew McFarland

welcome to the Atlassian Community ;)

Unfortunately there is no native smart value in Jira to get comments from a PullRequest.

I just checked to docu of github rest api and there is a possibility to get those comments from issues, pullRequests and pullRequest-reviews. See the link below:

https://docs.github.com/de/rest/issues/comments?apiVersion=2022-11-28

I would suggest to call the github in your automation rule via "Send webrequest" action and add these informations from the JSON respond.
