Create internal comment with jira java rest client?

[Peter H]

Hi,

is it possible to create an internal comment for an issue with the java rest client? When i create it with just the comment text itself, the comment is public and visible for customers in the service desk. In the JIRA Gui there is the button "Comment internally" for that.

This is how i currently create an comment:

jiraRestClient.getIssueClient().addComment( issue.getCommentsUri(), Comment.valueOf( "My comment" ) ).claim();

Thanks in advance!

This does not help me because i'm using the java rest client and also jira on premise instead of jira cloud.

In the java rest client i have not the possibility to set properties for an comment...

Try to use PUT /rest/api/2/comment/{commentId}/properties/{propertyKey}

I am not sure which java rest client you use. But you can always use the jersey client.

I am using this library: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/39474/rest-java-client-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview

The requests are builded by the library, so i cant modify them.

I think if a framework does not let you do something, then you either have to ask the developers of the framework, how to do it, or find another framework.
