_Answer by Ariel Aguilar on 06 April 2021_
The best way or workaround to accomplish comment impersonation and a reference key coming from Jira to Git hub can be sorted by adding the following code snippet into GitHub incoming script:
```auto
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
if(syncRequest.remoteSyncEventNumber == 1L){
def remoteKey = new JsonSlurper().parseText(syncRequest.replica.payload).get(replica.key)
issue.comments = commentHelper.addComment("Remote key is ${replica.key} ", issue.comments)
}
//Above code will help on getting a comment with reference of the issue key by adding a comment with the issue key on first sync.
issue.summary = replica.summary
issue.description = replica.description
issue.assignee = nodeHelper.getUserByUsername(replica.assignee?.username)
issue.reporter = nodeHelper.getUserByUsername(replica.reporter?.username)
issue.labels = replica.labels
issue.comments = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica,
{
comment ->
comment.body =
"[" + comment.author.email + "] " +
comment.body + "\n"
}
)
//This will help to add a reference from the email/author coming from Jira on each GitHub comment.
```
Thanks,
Ariel
