Issue Summary

Deleting Jira issue comments using the Jira Java API "com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager.delete" does not update the comment_version table if we set dispatchEvent as false.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a Jira instance on version 9.12.18 or 9.12.19
2. Create a Project and a Jira issue under the project.
3. Assume the Jira issue key created is "ABC-1"
4. Create a few comments on ABC-1
5. Use the below Java API script to delete the comments from the Jira issue "ABC-1".

   import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
   import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
   import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
   import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.Comment
   import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
   import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
   
   // Define the specific issue key
   String issueKey = "ABC-1"
   
   IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
   CommentManager commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()
   
   // Get the specific issue by the issue key
   Issue issue = issueManager.getIssueByKeyIgnoreCase(issueKey)
   
   if (issue) {
       // Get comments for the specific issue
       List<Comment> userComments = commentManager.getComments(issue).findAll { comment ->
           comment.getAuthorApplicationUser() == getUser("admin")
       }
       
       // Delete the comments
       if (userComments) {
   
               userComments.each { comment ->
               commentManager.delete(comment, false, getUser("admin"))
           }
       }
   }
   
   ApplicationUser getUser(String userName) {
       return ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName(userName)
   }
   

1. I've used ScriptRunner plugin console to execute the script.

Expected Results

All the comments will be deleted from the Jira issue, and the "index_version" (e.g., 1 -> 2) and "deleted" (N -> Y) columns of the "comment_version" table should be updated.

Actual Results

All the comments from the Jira issue are getting deleted, but the changes are not reflected in the "comment_version" table.

Workaround

The workaround is to set "dispatchEvent=true" while initiating the Java API.
