Feature #1725

Delete button on comments

Description
I know people with rights can just remove all content of a comment to get rid of it but it is not as "evident" as a delete icon, especially when quote and edit icons are present.

I've been wondering about this too, will have a look at it and see how quickly feasible it is.

There is a problem with this patch. Journals are only deleted if:
- The notes are empty and
- The details are empty
All this patch does is to clear the notes. If a Journal had details, it wouldn't be deleted. There are two options we can do here:
- Add a new action to really delete a Journal and provide a link to it, or
- Change this icon so it's clear that it only clears the note.
I've added Holger to this issue, I know he has an opinion about deleting things like Journals and I would like to hear what he thinks.

The scope of the patch wasn't to delete journals but the notes attached to it, which is currently possible to if you edit the notes to an empty string. The current functions quote and edit only work on the notes too, so I don't think that would be that misleading.

Maybe the title attribute should say "Delete notes" then. What do you think?

Can do that, I'll change the other titles (edit and quote) too to reflect that if it's ok with you?

Eric, I slightly reworked the patch to have the title say "Delete notes", the confirmation pop-up now also states that the changes to the issue will not be reverted if the journal details are not empty.
See http://github.com/thegcat/redmine/commit/5be3c6e9b405bf03ad69226e8235e3d6618adbf5 for the change.

created a related patch for rolling back journal entries #7610
This rolls back the changes made to the issue as well as removing the journal entry. Note that this capability is only enabled for the last journal entry (for obvious reasons).

- Target version set to 3.3.0
Updated patch for 3.2.0.devel.15067.
The procedure to delete note is a little bit difficult to understand. This change improve usability. In addition, we can avoid accidental deletion of a issue by clicking delete button under a latest note.
Please include this feature in Redmine 3.3.0.

As noted above, users with "edit notes" or "edit own notes" were already able to delete notes by making them empty. The delete button is just some kind of shortcut for doing this. The permissions are the same, so the answer is yes, you can allow users to edit/delete only their own notes.
