Reply to comments intended (to be perceived as coherent)

Hi there,

I would like to see something similar to JIRA when repling to comments. In JIRA, replies are always linked to the comment I replied to (visualised by an intend). Currently only the author of the commented is @mentioned.

It would be more visible which comments are replies and which not so discussions (comments and according replies) would will be more visually coherent. The cool thing within JIRA also is that you can collapse these discussions.

Keep up the awesome work

Cheers,
Fabian

I had a similar conversation about this with Stephanie. I'm not familiar with JIRA, but I am familiar with Facebook! My original comment was going to be:

When a teammate is tagged in a comment, they are given the option to press the “reply” button to respond, however if multiple teammates are having different conversations in the same task, or if one teammate has asked multiple separate questions, there is no way of knowing which “replies” are associated with which original comments. It would be beneficial for the reply to show up indented underneath the original comment (like on Facebook).

Hi Keeley, thanks for your input here. Our Product Team is aware of this post so thanks for adding to the discussion here. This isn't on any short-term road maps however if this changes I'll be sure to update everyone here. Thanks again!

Valerie Tan

agree that this functionality would be super useful. has it already been added since the last time it was proposed (in 2017)? cheers!

Elaine McDonagh

Hi @Valerie Tan, this feature hasn't been added, but our Product Team are aware of the request.

Once the suggestion receives 60+ votes we'll add a status to the thread.

If you need anything else let us know, we'll be happy to help 🙂

@Elaine McDonagh - First I want to make sure what I want is what this thread is about.

When I hit reply, the person I'm replying to has no idea what I'm commenting on unless I copy & paste some of what they wrote. So what's the point in even hitting replay if they don't know what I'm talking about? There should be a quote option.

If that's what this thread is about, are you saying people have been asking for it for 6 years & you won't add it because less than 60 people have followed it?

Thanks

Elizaveta Bogdanova

Hi @Michelle K., hope you don't mind me jumping in for Elaine here!

I think that this thread is mostly about being able to reply directly to specific comments (unless I'm mistaken).

Quoting is possible in Wrike, you can highlight text in the description and click on the quote icon:

Please try it and let me know how it goes 🙂

Oh I really hope this gets upgraded from the backburner, it would be so so helpful!

I agree, having threaded replies with indentation and collapse like JIRA would make discussions much clearer and easier to follow.

You can suggest adding threaded comments with collapsible replies, similar to JIRA, so discussions stay visually organized and easy to follow.

The Coaching

Implement threaded replies with indentation and collapsible discussions, similar to JIRA and 757G, to make comment chains visually clear.

Yasir

That’s a great suggestion—threaded replies with visual indentation and collapsible discussions (like JIRA) would significantly improve comment clarity, context, and overall discussion readability.

Enigmatix

It would be great to have threaded, indented replies like JIRA, making discussions clearer and collapsible.
