Allowed:

author_id

string

Workspace user to attribute this comment to. Workspace admins only — useful when importing comments from another tool. The target user must be an active member of the same workspace. If omitted, the comment is attributed to the authenticated user. When an admin sets this field, the author change is recorded in workspace audit logs with the API user as the actor, so overrides remain traceable. Once set, only the target user can edit or delete the comment.

created_at

date-time

ISO 8601 datetime to set as the comment's creation date. Only workspace admins can use this field. If omitted, defaults to the current time. Can only be set at creation time. When an admin sets this field, the timestamp change is recorded in workspace audit logs with the API user as the actor, so overrides remain traceable.

published_at

date-time

ISO 8601 datetime to set as the comment's publication date. This is the timestamp shown in the Dovetail UI for the comment. Only workspace admins can use this field. If omitted, defaults to the current time. Can only be set at creation time. Must be >= created_at and not in the future. When an admin sets this field, the timestamp change is recorded in workspace audit logs with the API user as the actor, so overrides remain traceable.
