How can I interate through issue comments in a SIL calculated field?

[Tobias Rapp]

I would like to create a calculated field using Kepler Custom Fields plug-in and SIL. The field value should reflect if the issue contains some specific formatted comment message. Unfortunately I cannot find out how to iterate through all comments of an issue and perform string-matching against them.

Is there a way to loop though all issue comments in SIL?

Hi Tobias,

At the moment there is no routine to retrieve all the comments.

You could either write one yourself following this guide: http://confluence.kepler-rominfo.com/display/SIL/Creating+A+New+SIL+Routine

.. or you could request an improvement on http://bugs.kepler-rominfo.com

Have written two support routines using the SIL guide: getCommentCount(key) and getComment(key, index).
