clickup comment edit

Edit a comment

Synopsis

Edit an existing comment on a ClickUp task.

COMMENT_ID is required as the first argument. If BODY is not provided (or —editor is used), your editor opens for composing the new text.

The body is parsed as markdown — headers (##), bold (x), italic (x), inline code, fenced code blocks, ordered/bullet lists, blockquotes, and links all render as rich formatting.

Use @username in the body to @mention workspace members. Mentions resolve case-insensitively against full username, first-name token, or email local-part when unambiguous.
