HI Guys,  
I am aware in a Jira to Jira sync (local to remote) how I can make a comment or other fields one way as you have a connection at each end scripted mode. In local mode Jira project A to Project b (Same Jira instance, just different projects) you have a single scripted connection. I am looking for JIRA A not to send any comments and for JIRA B to send all of its comments.

I have only been able to establish off or on.

Here is the config I have:

Outgoing

```auto
replica.key = issue.key
replica.type = issue.type
replica.assignee = issue.assignee
replica.reporter = issue.reporter
replica.summary = issue.summary
replica.description = issue.description
replica.labels = issue.labels
// replica.comments = issue.comments
replica.resolution = issue.resolution
replica.status = issue.status
replica.parentId = issue.parentId
replica.priority = issue.priority
replica.attachments = issue.attachments
replica.project = issue.project

//Comment these lines out if you are interested in sending the full list of versions and components of the source project.
replica.project.versions = []
replica.project.components = []

```

Incoming

```auto
   if(firstSync && replica.project.key == "ProjectB"){
      issue.projectKey = "ProjectA"
      issue.typeName = nodeHelper.getIssueType(replica.type?.name, issue.projectKey)?.name ?: "Task"
   }
   if(firstSync && replica.project.key == "ProjectA"){
      issue.projectKey = "ProjectB"
      issue.typeName = nodeHelper.getIssueType(replica.type?.name, issue.projectKey)?.name ?: "Task"
   }

   issue.status = replica.status
   issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority(replica.priority?.name, issue)
   issue.summary = replica.summary
   issue.description = replica.description
   issue.comments = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica)
   issue.attachments = attachmentHelper.mergeAttachments(issue, replica)
   issue.assignee = nodeHelper.getUserByEmail(replica.assignee?.email)
   issue.reporter = nodeHelper.getUserByEmail(replica.reporter?.email)

  
 

```

_Answer by Brad Marsh on 25 September 2023_

I resolved this through a simple if statement in the incoming and uncommented the outgoing

```auto
  if(replica.project.key == "PROJECTB"){
      issue.comments = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica)
   }

```
