Knowledge flagged comments?

Hi,

It seems to me that the 'Flag article' button does not work as documented here:
https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/helsinki-it-service-management/page/product/knowledge-management/...

find_real_file.png

If I in an instance running Helsinki hit the 'Flag article' button and filling the pop-up 'comments' it seems to be visible to all users both itil + self-service.

Example:

A published article owned by user Charlie Whitherspoon having the 'knowledge' + 'itil' roles:

find_real_file.png

If I as 'itil' user Beth Anglin create a flagged comment:

find_real_file.png

And then impersonate another itil user Bud Richman (not the article 'author') that flagged comment is visible:

find_real_file.png

Likewise it is visible to self-service user Amelia Caputo :

find_real_file.png

This is a bug right since the documentation indicates otherwise?
Is it easy to fix, so only the sender + article 'author' is able to read the flagged comment?

And when the article author Charlie Whitherspoon replies to the flagged comment:

find_real_file.png

It is not visible even to Beth Anglin who created the flagged comment that Charlie is answering.
How do I fix so replies to flagged comments are visible to the user who created the flagged comment?

Regards,

Kristian

Hi Kristian,



This issue has been addressed by PRB668156- Flagging a knowledge article adds a public comment as Comments for flagged articles should only be visible to the author, the user who entered the comment, or the KB owner or manager. This problem is already fixed in Istanbul release.



Let me know if you still have any questions.



Thanks,

Hi Kalinda,


Thank you for you reply, but that is not the problem.



The reply is not displayed even if refreshing/reloading the page.


It only becomes visible if the user submitting the comment replies to her own comment.
