    I have been attempting to copy the comment text (last comment) from one ticket and create another. It's working fine except for the formatting of the comment. I seem to be losing HTML tags and content while calling the new ticket API request.

    I tried to structure the 'html_body' using {{ticket.latest_comment_formatted}} as well as with DC like:

    {% for comment in ticket.comments limit:1 offset:0 %}
    {{comment.value_rich}}
    {% for attachment in comment.attachments %}
    {{attachment.filename}}
    {{attachment.url}}
    {% endfor %}
    {% endfor %}

    But I am losing the original comment formatting in the process - has anyone been able to copy the last comment with formatting and attachments over API?

     

    Example comment (converted to HTML)

    <p>Hi Ops,&nbsp;<br /><br />Please configure the following Account&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /></p>
    <table>

    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td><strong>Tenant Name</strong></td>
    <td>blibli EU</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td><strong>Sendgrid link for OpS</strong></td>
    <td>(Username, Password, API key)&nbsp;<a href="https://pwd.bliblo.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://pwd.bliblo.net/</a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td><strong>Email Field</strong></td>
    <td>STR63</td>
    </tr>
    </tbody>
    </table>
    <p><br /><br />Please reply once it is successfully configurated.<br /><br />Thanks,&nbsp;<br />Roni</p>

    Hi Rom,

    It's possible that {{comment.value_rich}} is not returning an HTML formatted value because it is under ticket.comments, which displays all the comments in a ticket in unformatted text. See Comment Data

    Instead, could you try using {{ticket.latest_public_comment}} or {{ticket.latest_public_comment_rich}}?

     

    On another note, you may want to check the Linked Ticket app in our Marketplace and see if this also helps with your workflow.

     

    Thanks!

    @...

    I tried these as well but still, I cannot get HTML to render while updating the ticket via HTML. The use of the linked tickets app is not good for me as it required much manual work and I am trying to automate this. 

    Any other suggestions?

    Hi @...

    I'll be creating a ticket for your query and send an email to you so we can investigate further.

    Thanks!

    What is the difference between using dynamic content for multiple languages and liquid markup?

    Hey Khajik! Dynamic content and liquid markup are definitely similar in what they accomplish. The main difference is that dynamic content doesn't require learning any syntax, and has a UI, so it's easier for someone who doesn't have programming experience. And dynamic content is centralized. So, in the context of business rules; with dynamic content the user only has to update the content, and all of the business rules will be updated as well. If liquid markup is used, they'll need to update each business rule individually.

    Detailed Question on this: having a clickable logo in our agent signature in the brand setting (that works already) but i need it to work dynamically, so eg. when customer language is german = logo should lead to www.brand.de / when customer language is english = logo should go to www.brand.com 

    I assume this should be possible with liquid markup, BUT I am new to this - so hoping someone here can help. 

    In brand setting "signature" right after the logo - can I just add something like this:

    {% when 'Italiano' %}(www.brand.it)
    {% when 'German' %}(www.brand.de)
    {% when 'English' %}(www.brand.com) 

    Appreciate anyone trying to help out on this :) 

    Kind regards,

    Yvonne
