This would also very helpful for our team!

Just to mention that ā€œConnected Work Linksā€ added last year might help.

It might be still inefficient to communicate in another place, but we can at least exchange private comments and they are visible in the task to only relevant people.

But itā€™s not quite the same, is it? I believe a ā€œglobal privatisationā€ of all comments might even work better than trying to work around with exchanging comments with a private task link.

Itā€™s absolutely appalling that weā€™re ending 2023 with this feature STILL not being implemented. If it were Iā€™d be bringing my entire 20+ team members on if you made it only as part of a higher tier membership. Iā€™d spend good money for this feature. PLEASE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. get your devs on it asap.

This is such a crucial and helpful feature. If I could decide I would leave Asana behind just for that reason.

/internal or /team to add a comment visible to internal users only instead of external users.
That way we can add a customer facing status update and have an internal discussion away from client eyes.

Iā€™m having a pig of a time bringing data back into zoho CRM - we can create the onboarding task then convert to project but the onboarding task and project arenā€™t linked (or rather that link isnā€™t exposed in the API) so we canā€™t feed project data back into CRM so we need to have update the onboarding task manually to feed CRM.

@Paul_Creaney - welcome to the forum! I think your second paragraph deserves its own post (in Integrations if youā€™re using something pre-built or Developers & API if youā€™re custom coding your connector). In that post, you might want to document your current process and what youā€™ve already tried, so the community can be as helpful as possible.

Adding my voice to the chaos here. Enabling each comment to be only visible to team members vs. visible to team members AND guests/external viewers would be a game-changer.

I am seeking input on this post for org-wide helpdesk use cases, if anyone would like to chime in.

Thanks!
