Edit Ticket Comment

Edit an existing comment on a Jira ticket. Comments support markdown formatting.

When to Use

• User wants to fix a typo or error in a comment
• User wants to add more information to an existing comment
• User wants to update status information in a comment
• User wants to correct inaccurate information

How to Execute

Run:

Copyaide jira edit-comment TICKET-KEY COMMENT-ID "new content" [--format text|json|markdown]

Or read from file:

Copyaide jira edit-comment TICKET-KEY COMMENT-ID --file ./updated-comment.md

Arguments

*Either inline comment or --file must be provided.

Flags

Finding Comment IDs

To find the comment ID you want to edit, first list comments:

Copyaide jira comments PROJ-123 --format json

Each comment in the output will have an id field.

Output Includes

1. Comment ID
2. Updated timestamp
3. Author name

Common Patterns

Copy# Edit with inline text
aide jira edit-comment PROJ-123 10001 "Updated comment text"

# Edit with markdown formatting
aide jira edit-comment PROJ-123 10001 "## Updated Status

- Fixed the bug
- Added unit tests
- Ready for review"

# Edit from file (for longer content)
aide jira edit-comment PROJ-123 10001 --file ./updated-comment.md

# Get JSON output
aide jira edit-comment PROJ-123 10001 "Updated" --format json

Use Cases

Best Practices

• Use markdown for formatted comments (headers, lists, code blocks)
• For significant changes, write to a file first and use --file
• The entire comment is replaced - include all content you want to keep
• Consider adding an "Updated:" note to indicate the comment was edited

Important Notes

• The edit replaces the entire comment content
• You can only edit comments you have permission to edit
• The comment ID is required (use aide jira comments to find it)

Next Steps

After editing a comment:

• Use ticket-comments skill to verify the edit
• Use ticket-delete-comment skill if you need to remove it instead
