list-ticket-comments

dci list-ticket-comments <ticketId>

Returns all permitted comments on a support request. Customers and service-account callers receive only public comments; private comment bodies and attachments are excluded. Callers authenticated with DoiT employee privileges receive both public and private comments, subject to existing ticket authorization. Each comment includes public, sourced from Zendesk: true means public and false means private (internal). Missing visibility in legacy responses or snapshots means unknown, not private. All comments are returned in a single response (no pagination).

  • ticketId — The unique identifier of the support request.

Examples

# All comments on a ticket, in one response (customers see public comments only).
dci list-ticket-comments <ticket-id>
# Wrap long comment bodies instead of truncating them.
dci list-ticket-comments <ticket-id> -M wrap
# Author, timestamp, and text as JSON, for scripts.
dci list-ticket-comments <ticket-id> --fields author,created,body --output json
