Internal note - default checked

How to Use GitLab
1

Hello,

I would like to know if there is any option in GitLab settings or some 3rd party browser plugin to check tick “Make this an internal note” bellow comment by default?
The point is that all coments by default are only internal.

I came across the same problem and solved it by writing a custom TamperMonkey userscript that checks automatically if the comment is marked as an internal note (replace example.com with the actual domain of your Gitlab instance). It’s not ideal that this cannot be configured but it’s better than unintentionally sending out internal comments to external parties.

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Gitlab-Internal-Note-Default
// @namespace    https://yahe.sh/
// @version      0.1
// @description  This userscript makes sure that Gitlab comments are marked as internal notes by default.
// @author       Yahe <hello@yahe.sh>
// @match        https://example.com/*/*/-/issues/*
// @icon         https://example.com/favicon.ico
// @run-at       document-idle
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    if (null === document.querySelector("[data-track-label=add_internal_note_button]")) {
        document.querySelector("[data-testid=internal-note-checkbox]")?.click();
    }
})();
