How to import comments properties or visibility with Jira Json import tool?
Now this data ignored and create public comment.
Who can help with this.

The JSON importer does not support setting the comment visibility: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-64584

You will probably need to resort to database manipulation unless you can find another third party import tool that supports this.

Whether a comment is internal is determined by two properties "CommentProperty" & "sd.comment.property", if you run the following SQL query (entity_id is the comment ID):

 SELECT * FROM entity_property where entity_id = 11111 AND property_key = 'sd.public.comment' 

 You should get two entries if it is an internal comment:

10000;"sd.comment.property";11111;"sd.public.comment";"2018-03-10 09:26:57.44+08";"2018-03-10 09:45:35.307+08";"{"internal":true}" 
10001;"CommentProperty";11111;"sd.public.comment";"2018-03-10 09:26:57.351+08";"2018-03-10 09:56:33.188+08";"{"internal":true}"

As far as I am aware, "sd.comment.property" can be set via REST API http://<baseurl.com>/rest/api/2/comment/<comment_id>/properties/sd.public.comment/, but unfortunately not "CommentProperty".

so how do you set CommentProperty?! toggling the sd.public.comment doesn't actually work without both being set, so this is not helpful as an answer
