_Originally asked by Svein Tvedt on 27 July 2021 [(original question)](https://oldcommunity.exalate.com/questions/30050267)_ * * * Hi again 😄 I am not able to figure this one out and I hope you can help me out. I am trying to update my Visual connection between Zendesk and Jira and the script that I created below based on the answer that you gave me in the last post I submitted. What I am trying to accomplish now is that I only want public reply comments from Jira to be synchronized with Zendesk. Jira (Payments) to Zendesk (CS). I have tried looking up the documentation, but it seemed to be geared towards Scripting connections as I am not getting that code to work. I tried what was posted here, but that’s not working for me: [Only sync internal comments](https://oldcommunity.exalate.com/display/exacom/questions/11338358/only-sync-internal-comments)_(old community)_ (doing it like this: `replica.comments = issue.comments.``findAll``{!it.internal}` which can be found here [https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/How+to+synchronize+comments](https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/How+to+synchronize+comments)) ```auto if (executionInstanceName == "Payments") { replica.comments = nodeHelper.getHtmlComments(issue) replica.comments = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica,{ comment -> comment.body = comment.author.displayName + " commented: \n" + comment.body + "\n" } ) } if (executionInstanceName == "CS") { replica.comments = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica, { comment -> comment.internal = true comment.body = comment.author.displayName + " commented: \n" + comment.body + "\n" } ) } ``` Would you be able to take a look at this and help me out?

_Answer by Ariel Aguilar on 04 August 2021_ Hi Svein, Sorry if I took some time, it seems we were conflicting with one of the limitations when using Visual Connections and actually if you are going to have this kind of configurations it is recommended to go to Script based connection, however I found a workaround for the original topic: ```auto if (executionInstanceName == "Payments") { def includeComments = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica).collect{it} issue.comments = nodeHelper.toMarkDownComments(includeComments) } if (executionInstanceName == "CS") { replica.getClass().fields def locked = replica.getClass().declaredFields.find{it.name == "_locked"} locked.setAccessible(true) locked.set(replica, false) replica.addedComments = replica.addedComments.findAll{!it.internal} issue.comments = commentHelper.mergeComments(issue, replica, { comment -> comment.internal = true comment.body = comment.author.displayName + " commented: \n" + comment.body + "\n" } ) } ``` Let me know if this works now. Kind regards, Ariel * * * #### Comments: > **Svein Tvedt commented on 05 August 2021** > > > Hi Ariel Aguilar > > This worked perfectly, thanks so much, we will check out script based connections in the future _(old community)_ > > BR, > Svein Tvedt ---
