I am not able to set jsdPublic flag to false when I add comment to an issue using the REST API. pls share the JSON body.

url: 

/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/comment

Hi @jay ,

Using the Add Comment endpoint (/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/comment), I was able to get it to work by adding this `properties` attribute:

{
  "properties": [
    {
      "key": "sd.public.comment",
      "value": {
        "internal": true
      }
    }
  ],
  "body": {
    "version": 1,
    "type": "doc",
    "content": [
      {
        "type": "paragraph",
        "content": [
          {
            "type": "text",
            "text": "This is a Private comment."
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

I found this property by adding an internal comment through the UI, and inspecting the network calls - but I can't seem to find any official documentation on this property.

Alternatively, you could also use the Create request comment endpoint (/rest/servicedeskapi/request/{issueIdOrKey}/comment), which is a service-desk specific API. I've tested this body and it works as expected.

{
  "body": "This is a private comment.",
  "public": false
}

@Sadiq Satriya  Thank you it worked well. Thank you for your support and effort. I have a small doubt regarding the comments. 

I have an issue and I added 5 comments already in it. After that I moved the issue from "in-progress " to "resolved" state transition and along with that I added a  comment too using REST API.  I have added a comment during one transition from one state to another state. But that comment also added as a normal comment in JIRA.  But now when I fetch the issue details I am getting these 6 comments(old 5 comments + Resolved comment) together. What I want is I am looking for a solution to find the comment which I added during the transition(Resolved comment) using REST API only. is there any way?  Or is there any way to identify which is resolved comment from that list?
