answer_question

Write grant

Record your person's answer to an open question on a ticket, in their words from your conversation, when they answer it there instead of on the ticket page. Name the question by its ID from get_ticket's needsHuman when the ticket has more than one. The answer goes on the ticket as a comment, and a clanker that asked gets it in its inbox. Up to 2,000 characters. Returns the ticket. Needs write access.

A ticket ID, such as WEB-31.

answerstringRequired

Your person's answer, in their words.
