How to fetch comment visibility in Scriptrunner?

[Dimitrios Danampasis]

In Scriptrunner, I am trying to create a Scripted Field for a Jira Service Management project.

The field will be fetching the date of the last public comment that was made by a user who is a member of a specific group.

Basically, I want to check if that comment is public or internal but I cannot get this information from the comment (com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentImpl). 

I found this article by Adaptavist but I cannot adjust it in my script:

Any help on how to get the comment visibility and adjust it to the script below will be much appreciated:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.commentManager

def comments = commentManager.getComments(issue).reverse()

def lastCommentDate = null

def groupX = ComponentAccessor.groupManager.getGroup("group-x")

for (comment in comments){

    def author = comment.authorApplicationUser.username

    

    // Here, I want to check if the comment is public or internal

    if (ComponentAccessor.groupManager.getUserNamesInGroup(groupX).contains(author)) {

        lastCommentDate = comment.updated

        break;

    }    

}

if(lastCommentDate)

    return lastCommentDate

There are some references in the scriptrunner documentation pages and the Adaptavist library for that:

• https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4js/latest/features/script-fields/script-fields-in-jira-service-management
• https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/get-the-visibility-of-new-comments-in-jira-service-desk

In short, you need to look at the properties of the comment:

def commentPropertyService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(CommentPropertyService)
final def SD_PUBLIC_COMMENT = "sd.public.comment"

def isInternal = { Comment c ->
   def commentProperty = commentPropertyService.getProperty(user, c.id, SD_PUBLIC_COMMENT)
      .getEntityProperty().getOrNull()
   if (commentProperty) {
      def props = new JsonSlurper().parseText(commentProperty.getValue())
      props['internal']?.toBoolean()
   } else {
      null
   }
}

Thanks, Peter, I had to adjust it a bit by following the first article you've shared and it worked.
