Not sure who needs to be tagged on this, but is there an update?
Really need this feature if possible…
Or be able to start a sub-comment thread on different parts of a comment somehow, would be soo usefull…
Introduce a reply option to individual comments in a project so not every collaborator gets notified. I find too many people get notified when something changes in a project and the alerts become redundant and people start to ignore them.
Hello, I just read through the entire comment section to see if there were plans to execute a threaded comment feature but I could not find an answer. My team is reverting to other forms of communication because of how difficult it is to identify the flow of communication. Our goal is for 90% of our work and communication to flow within Asana but without this feature it is proving difficult.
How has this feature not been added yet given the number of requests on this thread over years? It’s a fairly standard feature to be able to reply to individual comments in a task.

I will double that. Telegram has implemented this feature really beautifully, its all one thread, but you can one-click reply to any comment.
And they even have the option of view separately all replies (maybe this is too fancy, but its helpful to see that thread separate if you need, and don’t have multi level threads at the same time)

YES!! We need this when there’s too many comments and conversations in a task, comments get lost and confused
mind boggling to me that this doesn’t exist yet. absolutely essential for a workflow system.
Threaded comments are a feature that would add a lot of value to asana imho.
The current commenting options make working on more complex tasks more difficult, slower and more complicated - exactly the opposite experience of what we actually want. Let me illustrate this with an example: In marketing teams, for example, we break down individual deliverables into tasks. Let’s say it’s an ad for social media. The ad consists of several components, the image, the posting text, the link text, the link, … All of these could spark discussion, but even if it is just two of those, it is easy for different strands of conversation to develop between different people. Long comment chains are created in which information is very easily lost.
There are currently two main workarounds:
- Deal with the situation and accept that work will become more confusing and stressful.
- Create subtasks, which costs time and also reduces the clarity and simplicity of the user experience
Competitors of asana have long recognized the need for threaded comments and offer the option - it is much more relaxed in this respect to work with clickup, for example.
A note at the end: I don’t think a simple reply function, as has been suggested here a few times, will really solve the problem. It makes the long comment chains more bearable, but it doesn’t separate the conversations. That’s why I think it’s an alleviation of the problem, but not the solution.
Not to pile on, but earlier today I was working out some requirements in Asana with a coworker and had a bunch of specific questions that I wanted addressed individually, and we ended up taking the conversation to Slack so that we could start a new message for each question and then start a thread off of each of those messages. It was much easier than listing an order-list of questions and then having to respond with “For point #1 …”. Also in that scenario in Asana you’re just crossing your fingers that no one else hops into the comments and causes more noise

It would be ideal if you could have the option to replay to a specific comment, rather than just comment on the entire thread. This is a functionality available in Teams and texts that just seems standard. Is there a plan for development of this at any time?
Hi @Kathryn_Wirtz , I’ve merged your post into this existing thread where votes have been consolidated.
I get that managing feature requests and taking careful decisions on the use of available resources is hard.
What I don’t get is the decision making behind not giving a single status update for more than two years on a feature requested/voted by many users that is at the heart of the product but at the same time allocate resources on something like including stacked bar charts in one of the last releases. Really a frustrating forum expericence tbh.

This would be really helpful and is needed!
I would love for this feature to be implemented.
It is very interesting that you are able to reply to a community request, comment or thread, however the Asana application doesn’t have this feature. Many other applications including Social media so that feedback can be targeted to a specific comment making it easier to the person of the original comment to get the feedback they require.
Another vote for replying to a specific comment! We can do it in iMessage, email and other task programs. Please implement this into the program.
+1 here. so good.
Just adding my vote here - this is one of the only things our team is missing from ClickUp. It would be really great if we can have comment threads within tasks/subtasks!

Hi everyone and thanks for all the detailed comments, upvoting etc 
I am an Asana Group PM Lead who is equally excited about this functionality. I don’t want to promise a timeline, but just know it’s been bubbling up to the top of our list and I’m loving the design mocks for it so far

As an update for the group: implementation has been prioritized for our current half so I’ve updated the status to In Development (even though it’s in now in design). The web and mobile dependencies will potentially push the delivery date out to early 2026, but this is finally a roadmap commit

We have multiple different conversations within one thread and not being able to easily see when someone answers to a specific comment is making things very confusing and we are losing productivity. Having a nested view for comments will give us time back. I understand you can link a comment in the comment you are making, but that is more clicking and more scrolling and it’s not helping us save time. The point of using Asana is productivity and having information for our clients stored together, this current set up and is not really helping with that.
