Comment deletion leaves change history that is visble to all

      Comment deletion leaves change history that is visble to all

      This is really an issue where people go "Please delete my comment for security reasons!". You delete the comment but the entire information in the comment is still viewable by all. I'm not sure what the ideal solution is but perhaps the change history for the deleted comment should only appear to those with the delete comment permission?

            [JRASERVER-7002] Comment deletion leaves change history that is visble to all

            Anton,

            In my workflows, I have a "Correct Resolution" transition (from Resolved to Resolved) so you don't have to re-open an issue to correct the resolution. Amazing what you can do with JIRA, eh?

            Deleting a comment should not put it in the change history.
            I have several spam comments and deleted it, but now they still appear in history (as anonymous)
            I should be able to suppress them without modifying the database directly.

            I think issue JRA-7002 makes a valid point that should be considered when this is tackled.

            Anton feels that at the moment a complete change history is more important than removing all traces of the comment, so we are going to leave this for now. In the future there may be permissions associated with viewing the change history.
