I am using the Comment alter module to alter the values of parent nodes' custom fields. Works ok through UI, but couldn't make it work through replying e-mail because the "Mailhandler comments" feed importer simply doesn't have parent nodes' custom fields for mapping. Would be great to be able to do the same things that are possible through UI.

Title: Allow mapping to custom fields of the comment's parent node » Feeds support: allow mapping to custom fields of the comment's parent node

It sounds like this issue either belongs in Feeds Comment Processor, Comment alter, Mail comment or a custom module, but definetely not in Feeds, as Feeds itself doesn't do anything with comments.

At first glance, the Comment alter module seems to be the best place to support this in as it seems to be that stuff need to be saved in Comment alter's tables as well when importing values for the comment's node, so moving this issue to that project for now.

Looks like this is a two-step process. First you'll need to be able to create a new revision for the parent node, then you'll need to be able to tie both the old and the new revision of the node to the comment. At the end, Comment Alter would be able to pick up. So I guess this belongs to the Feeds Comment Processor project, at least first.
