I have a Drupal 8 site with Flag and Rules modules. How to flag a new comment ?

I want that when a user creates a comment, the comment should be automatically flagged.

I created a type of Flag on the comments and I created a rule with the event "When a new comment is posted".

What should I put in action ?

Flag ID should be the ID of the flag being set. If you go to /admin/structure/flags, and Edit the flag, the machine name/ID of the flag will be at the end of the URL -- so /admin/structure/flags/manage/{flag_id}.

I've not used Rules on D8, but for Entity ID, if you click "switch to data selection" and then click the field, I think it should give you some autocomplete options to help select the data you want. You'll likely end up with something like "comment:id".

  • Does it let you drill down any further? Seems like that isn't grabbing the actual value of the cid for whatever reason. Also...anything useful in the Provided Variables fieldset below?

  • I don't know how to use c module, because it is not as simple as in drupal 7

  • Not sure what you mean by "c module". You may want to look at drupal.org/project/rules/issues/2920651#comment-12328109 and drupal.org/project/rules/issues/2763945#comment-12358180 for info on how the data selector works. It might be as simple as using comment.cid.value. Past that I think we'll need to wait for somebody with more D8 Rules experience to drop in for guidance.
