Need a way to search for issues with no public comments in JIRA Service Desk

[Jeff Tillett]

I was using issuefunction not in hasComments() prior to implementing Service Desk, however this is now showing all public and internal comments. 

In order to track tickets that have not yet had their first response to the customer, I need to be able to run a query looking for issues with no public comments. 

I tried issuefunction not in commented("inRole Service Desk Customers") - however ScriptRunner will not allow for role's with spaces in the name. Not sure if that would even do what I wanted since I can't get it to run

project = Helpdesk and issueFunction not in commented("inRole 'Service Desk Customers'")

Use quotes around Service Desk Customers

Sheral's answer fixed my query, however it's not doing what I want.  Any ideas on how to query for "public" comments only?

When doing complicated queries that require quotations in an issuefunction, I've been able to escape them.  So:

issuefunction not in commented("inRole \"Service Desk Customers\"")
