Add-JiraIssueComment

SYNOPSIS

Adds a comment to an existing JIRA issue

SYNTAX

Add-JiraIssueComment [-Comment] <String> [-Issue] <Object> [[-VisibleRole] <String>]
 [[-Credential] <PSCredential>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

This function adds a comment to an existing issue in JIRA. You can optionally set the visibility of the comment (All Users, Developers, or Administrators).

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Add-JiraIssueComment -Comment "Test comment" -Issue "TEST-001"

This example adds a simple comment to the issue TEST-001.

EXAMPLE 2

Get-JiraIssue "TEST-002" | Add-JiraIssueComment "Test comment from PowerShell"

This example illustrates pipeline use from Get-JiraIssue to Add-JiraIssueComment.

EXAMPLE 3

Get-JiraIssue -Query 'project = "TEST" AND created >= -5d' |
    Add-JiraIssueComment "This issue has been cancelled per Vice President's orders."

This example illustrates commenting on all projects which match a given JQL query. It would be best to validate the query first to make sure the query returns the expected issues!

EXAMPLE 4

$comment = Get-Process | Format-Jira
Add-JiraIssueComment $comment -Issue TEST-003

This example illustrates adding a comment based on other logic to a JIRA issue. Note the use of Format-Jira to convert the output of Get-Process into a format that is easily read by users.
