Remove users from comment string

I would like the ability to remove tagged people on a chain if they are no longer needed to get updates.

Yes, that either the person that started the chain can remove people OR the people on the chain can remove themselves. As an admin, I constantly get asked -- how do I unsubscribe from this thread? Mostly because someone put too many people on it or the conversation was relevant to them at first, but later not so.

Slacks thread implementation is a pretty great place to gain "inspiration" from. https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/115000769927-Message-threads .

Another solution that would work for me is if workfront made an option to remove threads in general.

Yes or maybe like an unsubscribe button for someone who was tagged so people can remove themselves if they were tagged by mistake and the person tagging doesn't want to go back in and untag them?

We now have multiple departments with similar team names. Wrong teams as well as wrong people being tagged so being able to untag people is becoming crucial for us

Hey Everyone,

This is a great suggestion. We are planning on implementing a way to "unsubscribe" users from update threads. This work is currently scheduled to begin Q3 of this year.

Thank you for your patience,

Hi :) I’d like for the reply recipients to auto-populate, but then have the ability to edit (either add or remove recipients) before sending.
