Adding Comments and Comment attachment via Object Importer

Is there any way to use Content Server Object Importer to add comments and comment attachments to the imports?

I've seen the <Comments> tag in the documentation however there doesn't seem to be any examples of using it within Content Server Object Importer or the ability to attach files to those comments.

I know the functionality exists from the GUI however this needs to be part of the Object Importer job itself within the import XML definition.

Not sure if this is specifically a Pulse item. To extend the question if it is, can Object Importer interact with Pulse? If comments are specifically "Pulse" can Object Importer make Pulse entries as part of the XML definition? In this case adding Comments and potentially adding attachments to those Pulse comments?

the <comments> </comments> are special tags that OI code specifically looks for this Object called a Task

<comments><![CDATA[Here are some comments.]]></comments>
<comments clear="true"></comments>
Use this tag to add comments to a Task.

In Oscript code this script function Assoc GetMetadataFromImport of the Task Objects of OI has inbuilt code to take that and put it appropriately.

If you look in the same function for Document you will see that OT code is not looking for Comments.

I would use Description if appropriate.

your qn was can OI be extended to capture pulse,I would say yes for a qualified oscripter.OT has written OI as a framework to do things very easily.Pulse from reading somewhere has lots of new generation code so may be easier to do this in rest api .If going the oscript route one would need to know that .
