Add Comment to Existing Item

[cs]

Hi,

I am trying to add a comment onto an existing item in Fortress, how do I do this?

I am currently using MantisItemComment and MantisItemCommentColl.

Thanks for any assistance.

You can use ItemTrackingOperations.ProcessCommandAddFortressItemComment. All you need is the bug id.

[cs]

Thanks for the feedback that worked for me.

Is there also a way of adding a new comment onto an existing item with a subject and a comment?

Thanks

There is no convenience method for setting the subject, but you could do it like this:

Code: Select all

MantisItemFullDetail mifd = ProcessCommandListFortressItemFullDetails(bugID);

MantisItem mi = new MantisItem(mifd);

mi.ChangeComment = new MantisItemComment(bugID, uid, ulogin, subject, comment);
mi.ChangeComment.Html = useHtml;

ServerOperations.client.ClientInstance.ModifyItem2(ref mi);

[cs]

Thanks very much, that was exactly what I needed.

The e-mail notification text appears to be different from a regular comment added using the web client.

I receive:

a) 'JoeUser has modified item...'

instead of the expected:

b) 'JoeUser has commented on...'

How can I add a comment using the API which will generate e-mail notification style b) above?

There isn't currently a way to do this from the api, but I can take a feature request if you'd like.

[cs]

If you could add that as a request that would be great.

Thank you.

Fortress 1.1.2 will now correctly supports a subject and uses the comment web service method instead of the modify web service method.
