@link_mentions type link is not added in Work Item Command Line tool 5.2 in ELM 6061
Hi Ralph
I am enjoying using your Work Item Command Line tool. Using 5.2 with ELM 6.0.6.1 (and same for Plain Java API).
I am having trouble with one thing, however.
When I run a command similar to the below, it makes the Web UI dirty for the work item, indicating some change has happened, but I don't see any link created. There is no error.
wcl -update repository="https://clm.testenvironment.com:9443/ccm" user=xxxx password=yyyy id=129 @link_mentions:add=85
If I change that command to a different link type:
wcl -update repository="https://clm.testenvironment.com:9443/ccm" user=xxxx password=yyyy id=129 @link_depends_on:add=85
It works as expected.
Using the help here:
Are there any conditions on the @link_mentions working correctly? Might there be something wrong?
Accepted answer
Please create an issue in Github. I will try to have a look when I am back and have time. Earliest Tuesday next week.

As explained in https://github.com/jazz-community/work-item-command-line/issues/29 the server does not accept creating a mentions link. The link is indirectly created when work item comments and descriptions are created or modified. The WCL code actually tries to save the link, but the server code ignores it.
