Please give a brief summary of your issue:
When iterating through annotations, I want to create a new comment/note and add it to the annotation using javascript.

var aListAll = _annotManager.getAnnotationsList().filter(annot => (annot.Author.match(/([a-zA-Z]{3}[0-9]{5}.?)$/) !== null));
aListAll.forEach(a => {
var origAuthor = a.Author;
if (a.Subject != ‘Note’) {
//add new annotation comment/note here
}
});

-Thank you

Hi Mark,

When you’re trying to add a reply to an annotation you would want to look at this guide here:

If you’re trying to update the note contents, you will want to use the setNoteContents here:
