Bulk add comment

[Ventsislav]

Hello,

I was wandering whether there is a way to add multiple comments to a single issue in one go - something like `bulk_add_comment([comment1, comment2, etc ...])`.

I found those quite old questions:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Questions/add-many-comments-in-a-issue-with-the-API/qaq-p/638739

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Questions/Can-I-create-multiple-comments-in-1-request/qaq-p/720636

and wanted to check whether there is any progress on that/did anything change?

You may want to explore using Automation in Jira to accomplish this.

Here's an example Jira automation rule which adds three comments to the issue on which it was triggered:

•  

Each "Add comment to issue" action in this rule can be configured as shown below:

You can look here for more information about the Comment Action:

And you can read more about Automation Rules in Jira overall here:

Good luck, and best wishes!

Hi @Ventsislav 

Checking the open suggestions, and nothing appears for adding multiple comments at once for the cloud version... so you could add the suggestion, if you wish.

I am wondering, what problem are you trying to solve by adding multiple comments at one time?

Thanks, and best regards,

Bill
