## Request body

  - `name` string — Output only. Identifier. The resource name of the comment.
  - `createTime` string, google-datetime — Output only. The time when the comment was created.
  - `plainTextBody` string — Output only. DEPRECATED. DO NOT USE. A duplicate of the `body` field. This field is only present for legacy reasons.

    - `displayName` string — The name to display for the actor. If not provided, it is inferred from credentials supplied during case creation. When an email is provided, a display name must also be provided. This will be obfuscated if the user is a Google Support agent.

    - `email` string — The email address of the actor. If not provided, it is inferred from the credentials supplied during case creation. When a name is provided, an email must also be provided.
