Global Restrictions does not work for Comments Block

Hi all

Global Restrictions fields is not working for comments block.

When I use a list block with the same ‘comments’ table (i.e. same global restrictions) it works fine so it seems its a bug with the comments block.

Database is AT.

Can we please escalate this to Dev.

Thanks
George

Hey George. Did this get resolved?

Hey @Ben

No, unfortunately global data restrictions doesnt support Comments Block and there are no conditionally filters so it only works for All Logged in Users (which renders this block useless in my case).

@Marine.Hovhannisyan , @gedastava @Jjenglert can we please confirm when this will work?

This is true, and it’s been added to our docs accordingly. We are currently working on building a new version of the comments blocks, which we hope will arrive late March/early April.

Hi @FPX @Ben, we will introduce conditional filters for some of the permissions on the new comments block. Could you share more about your use cases? What kind of global filters would you like to apply?

Thanks!

I would think just needs same global conditions that list blocks have.

Users need to only see Comments from;

  1. Users that belong to their Business

Or

  1. Users belonging to the Business of the User that created the Record(s) being commented on.
