How do I create nodes with comments enabled using drush?

Question

I have a drupal 9.1.5 site with a custom node type. I can create test content for it using drush by running;

drush genc 1 --bundles=mynode --authors=test

However, half of the content has comments disabled. I think what is happening is that drush is randomly settings the COMMENT SETTINGS field:

Drush has a --skip-fields parameter, but I don't know what to put in there. I've tried a bunch of different things like field_mynode_comment (the machine name of the field) but none seemed to work. I'm basically guessing.

How can I use drush to create nodes that always allow comments?

Answer 1

This is more of a workaround;

I can coerce all nodes to enable comments by running a query like this:

drush sql-query "UPDATE node__field_mynode_comment SET field_mynode_comment_status = 2"

I had a look at the database and found the node__field_mynode_comment table, which has a field_mynode_comment_status column. I found that the nodes with that column set to 2 had comments enabled, so I ran the above query to set it for all nodes, and now all nodes have comments enabled.

Incidentally I also tried creating the nodes with that field name ignored (--skip-fields=field_mynode_comment_status) but that didn't seem to have any effect.
