Expand threaded comments by default
Marnie Hanlon
It's so easy to miss the threaded reply as it's currently collapsed by default... could there be an option to keep them expanded? Thanks!

Hey, everyone! 👋
We're looking into this further, and we have a few questions; your feedback is invaluable!
- We support disabling threaded comments (its a ClickApp). Does that solve your need, or do you want the ability to keep threads enabled but just see all of the replies expanded?
- We recently added "Quote Reply" to ClickUp Chat, and are working to bring it to tasks, Docs, etc. - Does this solve the need for being able to reply directly to someone and thus disable threads to solve the visibility problem?(photos below)
Thanks in advance!

@Brendan W - Update: I just turned off the ClickApp for Threaded Comments and it's still showing the old existing threaded comments!!! YAY!!! I'm having our team use this all day today to see if it's working as expected. I'll update again afterwards.

Hi there, is it possible to have comment threds automatically uncollapsed when opening a task?

Replies to comments should be more obviously formatted
Jake Fergerstrom
In the activity view on an actual task, it is easy to miss that there are replies on a comment because it is tiny in the bottom-right corner. There should be a view option to always expand replies and also show replies with an indent or elbow arrow or something similar to show more clearly it is a reply to a comment on the task.

Expanded subcomments in main task
Michael Palmer
Currently, replying to a comment opens a new thread. Unfortunately, this isn't always visible in the main task. Instead, it's indicated by "1 unread message" in the comment. It would be nice if a) these comments were also at the very bottom so you can immediately see that there's a new subcomment, and b) these threads were always expanded so you can read them directly. Now you have to click multiple times and miss these replies.

Expanded Comment Threads
Rob Davies
Replied to comments on tasks are being lost because they're nested away in threads. I need a way of seeing these comments quickly without having to go into the thread itself.
I've mocked up a suggestion of how this would look. Replies are automatically shown in the main bulk of the task's comments thread by default, and an expand/collapse button could then hide these.
This has been a feature request in the past but was closed due to inactivity https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/thread-expandcollapse

Nested comments from hell
Martin Widemann
The new nested comments in 3.0 are the worst implementation ever.
It require to jump into a comment and back to the main thread and then jump into the next nested comment and then jump back to the main thread and so on...
It’s really confusing and costs a lot of time.
Please provide a single but nested list of comments that allows to scroll from top to bottom with ease.

Make replies to comments more visible!

Replies made to comments within a task are easily lost and should be visible when scrolling through the Activity section. To view the replies you need to click the small text in the bottom right of the comment to see any comments, which is quite crucial when a project relies on what has been commented. I understand if this was done to avoid crowding the Activity section when there are many comments, but in that case only show the first 1-3 comments before having a 'Show more' button or similar. Would really appreciate a change like this and I believe it would boost workflow! Thank you!

Option to Show Comment Replies in-line / In Activity
Cody Wanner
I'd like to request a setting (per-user, but even per workspace-level) to always display comment replies expanded inline, rather than collapsed behind the "X replies" button -- as well as in the ACTIVITY pane (as a comment reply is DEFINITELY Activity on a Card.
Currently, to read a full conversation on a task, I have to click into each reply thread individually. An "expand all replies" toggle or a default-expanded view would make it much faster to follow discussions without extra clicks.
Use case: When reviewing task comments, I want to see the full conversation at a glance without manually expanding each reply thread (which then hides all other activity on the task)

Brendan W As others have mentioned, I would like to turn it off completely in my instance. BUT if I do that now that we've been live, I will lose anything that lived in a threaded comment previously. I need to retain the history of anything that existed in a threaded reply previously.

Brendan W we want to keep threads. They are quite valuable to organize any comments in the tasks. I really want to keep them but have an option to have them expanded by default.
