Set comment Author using Atlassian SDK

[Paresh Nawale]

Is it possible to set author of a new comment using Atlassian SDK? I tried following but didn't work

JiraInstance = Jira.CreateRestClient("<url>", "<user>", "<password>");

Atlassian.Jira.Comment c = new Atlassian.Jira.Comment();

c.Body = "my comment from code";

c.Author = "<user name>";

JiraInstance.Issues.AddCommentAsync(Key, c)

You cannot set the comment of the author using the REST Api.

why?, documentation of API says its possible, yet it does not seem to work ..

Can we Just add name somewhere in the body of the comment? so it at least shows info about the comment author!! rather than just admin user?

using REST API
