jQuery JavaScript to populate a blank comment with an Automated Comment. This is being done on the client side because on the server side there is no filter available before the check for an empty comment body.
Raw

jQuery('#commentform').on('submit', function() {
var $comment = jQuery('#comment');
if ( '' === $comment.val().trim() ) {
