Seperate external and internal comments

[Viktor Farkas]

Dear All,

I'd like to check if a comment in an issue is external or external. Can I do this somehow? As I see I can only get the id, text, author, created, updatedby and updated types with getComment().

What I'm trying to achieve is a custom field which returns a boolean whether the last external comment is by a service-desk-agent or by a customer. If its by a customer, the field returns false, meaning the service desk agent hasn't replied yet to the customer. If it's by a service-desk-agent, it returns true, meaning he/she replied to the customer.

Thank you, 
Viktor

External is a public comment, which is created by a service desk agent or an external/customer user.

I think we should start with defenition what is it an external comment. I assume that this is a comment created by external user. Since we should to do a decigion based on group mambership of a comment creator.

Yes, part of my condition is examining the group membership of the comment creator, using the isUserInGroup(group, user) function. But this isn't enough, because a service-desk-agent can also add an internal comment, and I need only public comments by service-desk-agents.

I see. To get restrictions you should use getGroupLevel() or getRoleLevel() methods.

If both of it are nulls, it means that comment is public.
