Disable Comments in Lists

How can we disable Comments in a list?   This is causing confusion for end-users of lists that already have a comments field.

    ganeshsanap, looks like another Microsoft misstep...am I surprised? No. Am I irritated? Yep. Complete and total ignorance on their part and the list keeps growing and growing.

     

    If only someone would stop driving such bells and whistles and start driving consistency (conformity, compliance and comprehension).

Completely agree Lance. Another half-arsed, poorly thought out implementation. The only silver lining is that at least this time there is an off switch, unlike some other instances where we were unable to disable the functionality.

    Andrew Goodwinand others,
    We need two different versions of SPO.
    v1 (normal) out of the box version.
    v2 (premium) Admin(s) have a lot more control over junk being pushed out and being able to turn on/off settings.  i.e.  https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/anavijai/how-to-enable-or-disable-document-property-promotion-in-shar/ metadata is not copied by default.  This has caused a world of hurt in my company.
