`UiPath.Jira.Activities.AddComment`

The **Add Comment** activity uses the [Jira API](https://bitbucket.org/farmas/atlassian.net-sdk/src/e2082af34475bd126f466ecd582501e090febc5e/docs/how-to-use-the-sdk.md) to add a comment (**Comment Text**) to a specific Issue (**Issue Key**).

The activity outputs a comment object (**Comment**) that can be used as an input variable in subsequent activities (e.g., **Comment** in [Delete Comment](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/jira-delete-comment)).

## How it works

The following steps are an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the [Setup](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/jira-setup) steps.
2. Add the [Jira Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/jira-scope) activity to your project.
3. Add the **Add Comment** activity inside the **Jira Scope** activity.
4. Create and enter a `String` and a `Issue Key` variable for the **Input** properties.
5. Create and enter a `String` and a `Comment Text` variable for the **Input** properties.
6. Create and enter a `Comment` and a `Comment` variable for the **Output** properties.

## Properties

### Common

* **Continue On Error** - This field only supports boolean values (True, False). The default value in this field is False. As a result, if this field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
* **DisplayName** - The display name of the activity. This field supports only strings or `String` variables.

### Input

* **Comment Text** - The comment text you wish to add to an Issue. This field supports only strings or `String` variables.
* **Issue Key** - The Issue Key of the Issue. This field supports only strings or `String` variables.

### Misc

* **Private** - If selected, the values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level.

### Options

* **Mentions** - The mentions you want to include with your comment. Enter a `String[]` or a `String[]` variable. This is a string array that contains the email addresses of the users we want to tag, e.g. `new string(){"john.doe@domain.com","jane.doe@domain.com"}`

### Output

* **Comment** - A **Comment** object. This field supports only `Comment` variables. The variable you create for this property can be used as an input variable in subsequent activities (e.g., [Delete Comment](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/jira-delete-comment)).
