PLEASE add this functionality. There are so many simple (oops, wrong topic) reasons why this should be available. There are also MANY complex (inappropriate comment is threatening or abusive) reasons why this should be available immediately. MAKE THIS HAPPEN, ASANA.
Desperately needed!

Agreed.
Anything yet?
So exhausting to find these basic features missing, and then when searching for a solution come across the thread on Asana’s forums that’s six years old begging for it.
We also have old comments from employees that have left - nothing bad about that, but tasks have comments with information in them that is no longer accurate. Contact info, phone numbers, etc. The admin should be able to delete or edit these. But really, there doesn’t need to be justification for why an admin may need to remove a comment from a task - that’s pretty basic and essential admin an moderator rights. The fact that I can’t do anything about rouge comments is crazy.
Another example of Asana just… leaving out needed features for years for no clear reason.
Totally Agree @Aaron_Stanton! Unbelievable!
^^ Agree 100% we need this.
I have tasks created by contractors who dont understand the tool fully. The instance I am working today is a single task with now sprawling commentary. I created a new task for an item that needed to be separate vs in the thread, adn went to remove the comments that were for this “other” item because I’d already moved them over. Just realized I could not delete them! what the heck
Is anyone at / from Asana going to chyme in? When can we expect this basic function, it’s been ~7 years. I use Asana as a QA tool where I collaborate internally with a team to dialogue and thereafter share a project with a client. The “clean up” phase, after we’ve had productive internal dialogue, is incredibly tedious without this capability.
The request was created in 2019 and still ignored up to today, in 2024?
Seriously, this is a must-needed feature. One employee I fired left lot of bad comments on some of our projects and we can’t delete them. I’ve been forced to duplicate the tasks and not imported the comments… what a bad way to deal with these kind of issues.
Is this even available via API yet? I don’t see it.
2024 and no one is able to delete a comment except the user himself…
I just accidentally tagged someone from a different client of ours. They kindly asked to be removed from the loop by replying to the notification e-mail with their complete email signature and history, which is now posted as a giant comment under some business critical information, and there’s no way for me to remove it other than asking them one more time to log in and delete the comment. And they’re not tech savvy.
Please. This is basic admin functionality. An admin should be God within the account / project. How can it be that no one has the ability to moderate the content of a project from a central account?
That is awful! And incredibly frustrating that Asana is announcing so many new and exciting things, but ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to add this functionality. It is mind boggling.
Yes, please!
As I am runing rules now, sometimes they are triggered too early (and there is no option to delay a rule) so some of the comments are misplaced. Feature to delete Asana generated comments is crucial now.
If it is not possible to implement, it would be great from Asana to comment why so to make us all understand and be quiet for some time
Thank you in advance!
