Adding Reaction to Comment-Type Posts Not Working

General
1

Hello, our team is having issues reacting to comment-type posts.

  1. First, we our attempting to use the CommentTray component as the frontend component: Comment Tray Component | social.plus docs (since renamed the AmityStoryTabComponent).
  2. Posting a comment is successful:
    1. We POST to /api/v3/comments
    2. Request: 
      1. {"referenceId":"wlc-2026-01-19","referenceType":"content","data":{"text":"Here is another comment."},"mentionees":[],"metadata":{"mentioned":[]}}
      2. In the response object, the comment does have "referenceType": "content",, and the id/commentId is set to :
        "_id": "696fc0d80b1a94a57661c65b", "commentId": "696fc0d80b1a94a57661c65b",
    3. Reacting to the comment is NOT successful:
      1. POST /api/v2/reactions
      2. Request: 
        1. {"referenceId":"696fc0d80b1a94a57661c65b","referenceType":"comment","reactionName":"like"}
        2. Note the referenceId above matches the id of the posted comment
      3. Response: 
        1. {
    "status": "error",
    "message": "reaction validation failed: targetId: Cast to ObjectId failed for value \"wlc-2026-01-19\" (type string) at path \"targetId\" because of \"BSONError\", targetType: `content` is not a valid enum value for path `targetType`.",
    "code": 500000,
    "data": {
        "detail": []
    }
}
      4. According to the API documentation, this is the correct structure for the request object to that endpoint: Social+ API Reference
        1. NOTE: These API requests are constructed by the UIKit, we are not building it directly

Overall, it looks like the API is NOT accepting reactions on posts that have a referenceType of comment - but there is no obvious reason why that is the case.

Hello @mqm, thanks for sharing the detailed information. We’ve escalated this to the team to investigate and will keep you posted once we have an update.
