Hello there,

 

We’re wondering is there any feature/workaroud to mass delete comments in items?

Here’s the case: our user copied aprox. 600 items from one place to another. Everything was copied including comments, which are not applicable in the new place, so now they’re deleting comments one by one. Is there any workaround for this?

There is not. In the future, I would recommend running a round-trip Excel export with the columns you want to copy, deleting the ID column from the exported file, and reimporting it into the destination. Since the ID column was deleted, it will treat them all as new items. Be sure to check the “Export description” checkbox, as description is required for new items.
