Now, what if you wanted to update a comment. For this we can use the following PUT call: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/{id}/comments/{commentId}
The Node Identifier for the folder or file node to update the comment for is specified with the {id} parameter. And the comment we want to update is specified with the {commentId} parameter.
The PUT body contains the new comment text:
{
"content": "Updated comment text"
}
As an example we will update the latest comment for the file, which has the cace6ed3-1e57-4690-86eb-d9bce01257cf Node Identifier (can be seen in the first listing of comments above):
$ curl -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Basic VElDS0VUXzA4ZWI3ZTJlMmMxNzk2NGNhNTFmMGYzMzE4NmNjMmZjOWQ1NmQ1OTM=' -d '{ "content": "Updated comment text" }' 'http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/7279b5c5-da55-4e98-8b12-72d33b90c810/comments/cace6ed3-1e57-4690-86eb-d9bce01257cf' | jq
