Has it become easier to delete or change in an already entered text in a discussion field in a work item in the new version of CLM 5.0.1?

I have tried to do an investigation regarding the subject:



*how to edit or delete comments in a JazzHub project*

https://jazz.net/forum/questions/122820/how-to-edit-or-delete-comments-in-a-jazzhub-project

Jennifer Hayes and Geoffrey Clemm: Informed that it was not possible around year 2007


*remove data from discussion field*

https://jazz.net/forum/questions/63427/remove-data-from-discussion-field

Sanfi faria: Asked if that was possible to remove an already entered text from the discussion field of a work item.

Geoffrey Clemm: 'Wrote back that In 3.0.1, someone with jazz_admin privileges can "empty" a comment in a
work item. But note that the comment will still be visible in the
history, so that doesn't help if you want to make that comment
inaccessible.

As jazz_admin, you also can delete an entire work item ... in that case,
it is really gone'.



I can see that a work item has been created but that is still in Backlog:

Enhancement 42801 (Work Item editor: Support editing of comments)

https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=42801


But maybe I have missed something and it has become easier to delete or change in an already entered text in a discussion field in a work item in the new version of CLM 5.0.1 then I would very much like to know that please?

I'm not sure that this is new for 5.0.x but it is possible to delete a workitem comment if you have JazzAdmin permission.  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_5.0.0/com.ibm.team.workitem.doc/topics/t_empty_comment.html?lang=en

Editing is still not possible.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you for your feedback. I can see that you are right if you use Eclipse client.
We are using a Jazz web server where we have not add the Eclipse client. So we can not do the deleting at the moment. But maybe in a coming upgrade version of CLM it might be easier to remove a discussion comment.

I have notice in CCM version 5.0.1 that you now can "change the comment display order". Maybe in a future version you would also be able to delete a discussion comment if you had a JazzAdmins permission.  

Kindly regards
Martin
