Pages and/or List Item Comments 💬

[Adam-it]

🎯 Aim

It seems that CLI does not have commands that support CRUD operations for comments for a page or for a list item. The aim would be to add them 🙂

comments in list item

comments for a page

🤔 Ideas/remarks

• for sure we need commands which to add, remove, get, list comments. I don't believe we need a set command. I think updating a comment is not supported from the UI

📚 Info

Some quick google (bing if someone prefers) research for a REAT API for list item comments 👉 https://ganeshsanapblogs.wordpress.com/2021/02/14/add-comments-on-list-item-using-sharepoint-rest-api/

Same for pages 👉 https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/294457/post-comment-to-a-modern-site-page-using-rest-api

So there seem to be some REST support in this area 👍

💬 Feedback needed 🙏

... that's what I have till now, not much I know. But it's a start 😉. Lets discuss if it's needed and if yes which API we may use and what could be done 👍

Seems okay I guess. Can you think of use cases when this would be useful @Adam-it?

[waldekmastykarz]

+1 to @martinlingstuyl question of when it would be useful. While we could absolutely add commands for it, would anyone use them?

[Adam-it]

maybe we could try to reach out to the community on twitter or linkedin if comments in their company is used and for what reason. Where I work comment for pages are used in order to provider feedback to the author what the page is lacking (what info should be added).

[waldekmastykarz]

I understand the use of comments, but I'm struggling to understand a use case to work with them programmatically.

[Adam-it]

aa ok I get you point. That's true I also don't see a programmatical use case for it. So I guess there is no bigger benefit, at least currently. implementing this except that we increase commands coverage over what is possible from the UI 🤔. I guess we may leave this as quite low priority for now, or don't do it at all? What do you think?

[martinlingstuyl]

I'd say just drop it until someone comes with a good use case and feature request for it. Let's spend our time on stuff that's clearly valuable.
