Jira rest api comments maxsize in rest/api/latest/issue/{issueIdorKey} ?

nathanvanhille

Hi, I'm currently trying to retrieve issue data with the rest api. To get worklogs and comments i'm using the arrays I get from the query "rest/api/latest/issue/issueIdOrKey".

But while in the worklog field there is a maxresult field, there is none on comments. Does this means that all comments get returned, no matter the amount there is, or is there a maxresult that isn't returned by the query?

Hello Nathan,

Thank you for raising this question.

You're correct. The Rest API call you mentioned will automatically set the MaxResults parameter with the total number of comments.

If you need pagination on comments, you can use:

- rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/comment.

Please, let me know if this information helps.
