Comment on multiple items

The JSON representation of the job is available here.

The purpose of this Data Factory job is to create a single comment thread (with a comment in it) on multiple items. This job intends to illustrate the use of tasks such as data-suggestion-find and data-comment-thread-create.

TIP

Note that comment threads are associated with suggestions related to these items and not directly to the items themselves. Here, the job does not apply any specific rules regarding the selection of suggestions and creates a comment thread for each suggestion. It is possible to modify this job so that comments are only created for certain suggestions.

From a user perspective, the job is triggered by a user action (from the app.product-live.com interface). In this example, the user is asked to select multiple items and to write a comment. The user then triggers the job, which will create a single comment thread with the user's comment on each selected item.
