I found this in the Drupal forum: > (https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/theme-development/2011-04-15/remove-title-from-comments) Hope that helps!
from UI, you can disable “subject” fields just using, the “Manage Form Display” Tab in “Structure” => “Comment Type”.Anyway, this prevent to display subject fieald in the compilation form of the comment, but in display view, the field is still present (No Subject). :-(I’m fighting with this, but I think the only way is working on theme comment template 🙁
The option no longer appears at that location. Someone must have removed the option in one of the D8 updates. Is there another way to remove comment titles?
