How can I add a comment by using Jira API to closed issue?

[george]

I’m able to add a comment by using JIRA API to not closed issue but I need to add a comment to closed issue, and I’m getting “bad” request error.

Thanks Nic for your comment.

HI Steven,

Thanks for reply.

I got more questions for you.

• Could you provide an example how it can be done programmatically by using c# and JIRA Rest API?
• Does account needs to have an administrator credentials to work with Workflow?

1. It's the same code you use to post comments on non-closed issues 2. You need an admin account to alter the workflow to allow comments on closed issues (or create a new workflow to use instead)

If you are using the Default JIRA workflow, it has a property that prevents editing while you are in a Closed status. You must copy the Workflow, associate it with your project, and ensure that you can edit Closed issues by removing that property.
