function Add-JiraIssueComment { <# .Synopsis Adds a comment to an existing JIRA issue .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). .EXAMPLE Add-JiraIssueComment -Comment "Test comment" -Issue "TEST-001" This example adds a simple comment to the issue TEST-001. .EXAMPLE Get-JiraIssue "TEST-002" | Add-JiraIssueComment "Test comment from PowerShell" This example illustrates pipeline use from Get-JiraIssue to Add-JiraIssueComment. .EXAMPLE 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 $comment = Get-Process | Format-Jira Add-JiraIssueComment $c -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. .INPUTS This function can accept PSJira.Issue objects via pipeline. .OUTPUTS This function outputs the PSJira.Comment object created. .NOTES This function requires either the -Credential parameter to be passed or a persistent JIRA session. See New-JiraSession for more details. If neither are supplied, this function will run with anonymous access to JIRA. #> [CmdletBinding()] param( # Comment that should be added to JIRA [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 0)] [String] $Comment, # Issue that should be commented upon [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 1, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [Alias('Key')] [Object] $Issue, # Visibility of the comment - should it be publicly visible, viewable to only developers, or only administrators?
