## Return Type

**Number**

The returned number represents the id of the comment.

## Examples

### Example 1

Use the following code to add a **public** comment to the current issue on behalf of the current user. The commentAdded event will be dispatched.

```
addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "I have executed a transition.");
```

The same can also be achieved with the following script:

```
addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "I have executed a transition.", true);
```

### Example 2

Use the following code to add an **internal** comment to the current issue on behalf of the current user. The commentAdded event will be dispatched.

```
addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "you can't see me", false);
```

The same can also be achieved with the following script:

```
addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "you can't see me", false, true);
```

### Example 3

Use the following code to add an **internal** comment to the current issue on behalf of the current user. The commentAdded event will **not** be dispatched.

```
addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "you can't see me", false, false);
```

In the newer versions of Service Desk, the API responsible for the dispatchEvent attribute was deprecated, and Atlassian doesn't use this parameter in newer versions. Don't use this property for this method. This means you should not be using the last attribute, "false" in this example. Thus, your code should look like this:

```
addJSDComment(key, currentUser(), "you can't see me", false);
```
