Problem/Motivation

It is impossible for an administrator to delete comments for a closed for comment entity (D8) or node (D7)

Steps to reproduce

  1. As user 1 or as user with 'Post comment' and 'Administer comments' permission
  2. Create a node which has comments enabled.
  3. Create a comment on the node
  4. Check for the delete link for created comment.
  5. Edit the node and close for comments
  6. Check for the delete link for created comment. There is none :-(

Proposed resolution

Fix it.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Why bother on CommentItemInterface::CLOSED ? Is 'administer comments' not enough?

Re #3: just checking for the permission seems enough to me.

If we are changing this behaviour for delete, shouldn't we do the same for reply and comment? I think the reply action will be handled once #221761: Hide reply link for unpublished comments goes in.

Wasn't able to replicate in 9.5

Can you see if this is still an issue? If so provide updated issue summary and testing steps.

Since it's been 3 months since this moved to PNMI. Which is past the threshold.

If still an issue please reopen with an updated issue summary specifically steps to reproduce.

Thank you!
