comment create: --body-adf flag missing (present on comment update)

[maximharizanov]

Summary

acli jira workitem comment create does not support the --body-adf flag, even though acli jira workitem comment update does. This means there's no way to create a comment with rich ADF formatting in a single command.

The --body flag's help text says it accepts "plain text or Atlassian Document Format (ADF)", but passing raw ADF JSON results in it being wrapped as a plain text paragraph via adf.FromText(), not parsed as ADF.

Steps to Reproduce

# Create an ADF JSON file
cat > /tmp/test.json << 'ENDJSON'
{
  "version": 1,
  "type": "doc",
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "heading",
      "attrs": { "level": 2 },
      "content": [{ "type": "text", "text": "Hello" }]
    }
  ]
}
ENDJSON

# This fails with INVALID_INPUT:
acli jira workitem comment create --key TEST-123 --body-adf /tmp/test.json

# This also doesn't work — ADF JSON is posted as plain text:
acli jira workitem comment create --key TEST-123 --body '{"version":1,"type":"doc","content":[...]}'

# But update works fine:
acli jira workitem comment update --key TEST-123 --id 12345 --body-adf /tmp/test.json

Expected Behavior

acli jira workitem comment create should support --body-adf <file> the same way comment update does.

Workaround

Create a stub comment, then immediately update it with ADF:

acli jira workitem comment create --key TEST-123 --body "placeholder" --json
# extract comment ID from output
acli jira workitem comment update --key TEST-123 --id <ID> --body-adf /path/to/adf.json

Root Cause (from binary analysis, v1.3.13-stable)

The two commands use different architectures internally:

• comment create is a hardcoded Go command (create_comment.go) that only registers --body and --body-file cobra flags. When --body receives input, it unconditionally calls adf.FromText() which wraps everything as a plain text paragraph — even valid ADF JSON.

• comment update is a YAML-templated dynamic command (jira/workitem/comment_update.yaml) that defines three mutually exclusive flags: body, body-file, and body-adf (type flag.BodyAdf). The body-adf flag properly reads and parses ADF JSON via adf.FromJSON().

Relevant functions in the binary:

• adf.FromText() — wraps as plain text paragraph (what comment create uses)
• adf.FromJSON() — parses ADF JSON (what comment update --body-adf uses)
• adf.FromData() — auto-detects format (not used by either command)

The fix would be to either:

1. Add --body-adf flag to the comment create Go command, or
2. Migrate comment create to the YAML-templated system (which already has the infrastructure for --body-adf)

Environment

• acli version: 1.3.13-stable
• OS: macOS (Apple Silicon, Homebrew install)
