+1Export: comments.csv missing comment ID and associated activity/post/flag/… ID
When I export my Strava data, one of the files is `comments.csv`. However, there are only two columns in that CSV: `Comment Date` and `Comment`. No `Comment ID`, `Associated Entity Type` and `Associated Entity ID`. So basically, just a wall of dated text. Almost perfectly useless.
How can I get the comments in their original context?
+1Is it because I misspelt “tumbleweed” that my question is being ignored?

+26Maybe there is a third party app that can export comments including references to the activities. It will be difficult to find though.
+1Thanks, Jan. That could indeed be the case. (And if not, it might even be possible to write one myself.) However, my main issue is that Strava is supposed to do this themselves, because what is the point of dumping a bunch of text without any usable structure? Their own API even includes the `comment_id`, so I don’t understand why they don’t simply export this instead.
But it seems pretty obvious already that none of the developers will ever see this, let alone reply to it.
+26You could create a new idea for that, then your chances for implementation would go from not existent to very improbable.
+1As per a comment on this post:

Change the export so `comments.csv` contains the missing fields.
