dispachEvent (deprecated)BooleanNo

“true” if you want to dispach the commentAdded event and “false” if not, the default is "true".

In newer versions of Service Desk, the API responsible for this feature was deprecated, and Atlassian doesn't use this parameter in newer versions. Please don't use this property for this method.


Return type

number

The returned number represents the id of the comment. 

Examples

Example 1

Use the following code to add a public comment to the current issue on behalf of the current user. The commentAdded event will be dispached.

addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "I have executed a transition.");

The same can also be achieved with the following script: 

addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "I have executed a transition.", true);

Example 2

Use the following code to add an internal comment to the current issue on behalf of the current user. The commentAdded event will be dispached.

addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "you can't see me", false);

The same can also be achieved with the following script: 


addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "you can't see me", false, true);

In the newer versions of Service Desk, the API responsible for the dispatchEvent attribute was deprecated, and Atlassian doesn't use this parameter any more. Don't use this property for this method.

This means you should not be using the last attribute, "true" in this example. Thus, your code should look like this:

addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "you can't see me", false);

Example 3

Use the following code to add an internal comment to the current issue on behalf of the current user. The commentAdded event will not be dispached.

addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "you can't see me", false, false);

In the newer versions of Service Desk, the API responsible for the dispatchEvent attribute was deprecated, and Atlassian doesn't use this parameter in newer versions. Don't use this property for this method.

This means you should not be using the last attribute, "false" in this example. Thus, your code should look like this:

addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "you can't see me", false);
