Read an Issue Comment Thread and Reply
with Jira
Works with AI assistants
Read a Jira issue comment thread and append a reply to it.
- Read the issue to confirm it is visible to the caller and to capture the summary and status that give the thread its context.
- Page the comment thread oldest-first, rendering bodies to HTML so the caller can mirror the thread without parsing Atlassian Document Format.
- Post the reply into the thread as an Atlassian Document Format document, optionally restricting it to a single project role.
What you'll need to have ready
- issueIdOrKey: The id or key of the issue whose thread is being read and replied to.
- commentText: The plain text body rendered into the Atlassian Document Format comment.
- maxResults: The maximum number of comments to return in the page.
- visibilityRole: The project role name the comment is restricted to (e.g. Administrators). Omit to post a comment visible to all who can view the issue.
