Notification for assignment comments?

I’m looking for a way to notify our instructors in a course when a user submits a comment in an assignment. I am not seeing a notification that covers this, and the learner assignments area in the course has no visual indicator for a new comment, only for a new assignment submission.  In searching I did find two very similar requests for the same functionality that look to have been closed but do not mention what the resolution was. Does anyone know of a way to do this or what the past response was?

In testing that only sends the notification if faculty makes a comment and does not send anything if the learner does. To meet our requirement I would need it to send the learner comments as well, and ideally that would be a separate notification as it makes sense that this one could be sent to the learner when faculty replies and the other would be for faculty when the learner replied.

Ok I see what you're saying...had another look and there is no “reply” version of these templates. Although you cannot advise the reviewer that a comment was added by the user, they can still be viewed onscreen by the reviewer.

I came across this thread while trying to find a solution to removing the comment/reply option altogether. Our process really doesn’t require any evaluation comments, and the risk of learners entering a comment and nobody seeing or addressing it is not something we wanted to risk.

My css skills are a little rough so there’s probably a neater way of doing this, but this worked for me - I just hid the ‘Assignment details’ (reply/comment) section and the ‘Contact evaluator’ button entirely. Maybe this will help somebody.

/* Hide Contact Evaluator button on Assignment Results */
.dcb-assignment-result-evaluation-actions .ng-star-inserted {
display: none !important;
}

/* Hide user comments area in assignment details */
dcb-course-lesson-player-assignment-result-details {
display:none !important;
}
