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;
Or
Hi @gedastava Can you please confirm if global data restrictions will apply as per above use case?
@gedastava @Jjenglert any update please? the comments is useless to me without this functionality
I don’t think this one will be coming now that we have our new comments experience that has built in permissions.
I’ll check to see what our intention is with this and will report back if I hear anything different.
@FPX heard back.
Global restrictions won’t apply specifically, but here’s something to remember.
These comments belong within specific records. That means, you can use our conditional filters + global data restrictions as normal to restrict the records shown.
And if the record is shown, that means the user has access to view that record (and the related comments). And then specifically, you can use user permissions there to further limit.
So now with this being integrated, this filtering happens at a high level above comments, which should satisfy what you’re looking for.
Thanks for response @Jjenglert but i am talking about B2B one-to-many or B2B many-to-many, not B2B one-to-one (which is what Softr can handle).
I understand it works for the use cases like Airbnb comments when a booking is confirmed where for example you can have two way comments as there are two owners belonging to the record. Thats fine and was always the case - nothing new there.
For Records that have only one owner (creator) and where the public (WITH permission) are commenting on said record (prior to another owner) belonging to the record all comments should not be visible to just everyone but instead to the owner of the record AND ONLY to the Commentor.
E.g of use case:
Jj who works at Softr creates a record where all other Softr employees (with permission) can see record and comments belonging to record.
The record is asking Softr approved Agencies to bid on a development project.
Each agency (and their approved team) can see ONLY their own comments with Softr and ONLY the replies to their Comments from Softr team.
So…
What i am asking is will Softr handle comments for these use cases without having to create a new record in order to create a conversation?
@Jjenglert Continuing on from above written example, see below visual example. Appreciate a response ASAP please to see if Softr will update as have been waiting on this feature to be released only to see nothing has changed in this regard?
