Disable auto-opening of comments section in SharePoint List, but not the comments functionality

Hi All,

I have a SharePoint list which, when opening a task, automatically opens the comments section. I do not want this section to open automatically, but do not want to disable the function completely either. Does anyone has a tip on how to do that?

Previously it worked by opening the list via the Microsoft Lists app (as opposed to opening through the SahrePoint). However, this has changed lately and now the comments section always opens.

Thank you!

Ellen

      Hi Kidd_Ip, I have very limited experience with it. I thought of it as a potential solution. However, as the comment is not a column (which I think would be a list item), I wouldn't know how to apply a JSON to this issue.
      If you have any suggestions, I'd be more than happy to learn from you! 🙂

    Following for a solution as well. The new UI update was the cause of this from what I can see. NI don't believe defaulting the comments section for each list item was the best approach. Especially without a way to disable it!
