Changeset 60937 for trunk/src/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-comments-controller.php

Message:

REST API: Allow comment content to be updated to empty when allow_empty_comment filter returns true

This filter was already respected during comment creation, but not updates. This was inconsistent between POST and PUT, and prevented erasing content of moderated comments via the API without deleting the entire object.

Props adamsilverstein, kadamwhite, davidbaumwald, mukesh27, timothyblynjacobs.
Fixes #64049.
