The appearance of Comment types
is new to Drupal 8. No longer are comments assumed to be part of every content type. Comment types are like content types in that they are fieldable and can have additional fields added to them to capture info outside of the normal subject, author, and comment.
We can view the Comment types screen by navigating to /admin/structure/comment
or using the Admin toolbar and click on Manage - Structure
- Comment types
:
By default, Drupal provides us with a Default comments
type that contains three fields: Author, Subject, and Comment body. Comment types can be managed exactly like content types, which we will see next by adding a new Comment type that we will add to our Post.
