We don't need more AI; we need this basic, fundamental functionality. Waiting five years for this feature is embarrassing. I don’t understand what the problem is. We want private comments!

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THERE WERE A RECORD OF DELETED COMMENTS.

Bumping this. Our team has personally been waiting on this for 2 years now...

It heavily impacts our day to day work and has made us consider looking at other platforms down the road if deemed necessary. The AI features are great; however, there are more crucial features that should be prioritized.

Is there any update on this?

There is a work around... ie Private DM/group chats can be linked to a task (and viewable only by the chat participants in the task).. However I think we need private chat threads as well (ie you might not be part of a channel, but you should be able to view a thread you're added to). I believe task comments and threads should possibly be the same thing and pinnable in the chat sidebar etc. Chat DMs/threads etc should be createable from within tasks as well. Also chat threads in tasks should be expandable and we should be able to chat directly within the task.

Bump.

It's been 5 years since this request, the reality is that it's super necessary, even for the UI to generate task content it's annoying because it takes up a lot of space.

As an agency this is paramount - big upvote for this!!!

When will this feature roll out? It's been on the roadmap for years. NO MORE AI - we want core functionality. Our team has a new COO and they want to move away from ClickUp due to BASIC features missing.

Our team has recently switched to ClickUp and I really enjoy it. But the lack of private/internal comments was really surprising. Adding my vote for this feature

Adding my voice to this request again. This is the ONLY thing holding us back from switching to ClickUp and we really, really want to switch over. Any chance this will be in development soon??
