Publishing draft comments without adding a patchset

[youngkih]

Hello team! Quick newbie question :)

I'm trying to figure out how to reply to existing comment without adding a patchset.
I found how to publish a draft comment, but what I'd like to do is to 'send' that draft comment so that the reviewers can view them as well.

From the web GUI, we can do it like below button, by clicking on 'SEND' button,

which seems to send POST /review to the current revision.

Can anyone help explain if this functionality is provided by this plugin? If so, would appreciate for help.

Thank you in advance!

You can write a comment, and then publish it by using the "Code-review" action with value 0 if you do not want to give any votes (it sets the code review to 0, but you can use any other available numbers). Please re-open this issue if this does not answer your question.

Hello @uwolfer , thank you for the answer, but seems like the Code-review action is only available to the reviews that are incoming. What I'm looking for is to add comments on the PR I'm creating. Would this be possible?

Thanks for your explanation. I think this is specific to your setup where you are not allowed to do update "review" status of your own changes. In my setup, I'm able to use these actions. How does the web UI work in this case? Can you just send comment, but not set any votes?
