I would like to add my thoughts on this as it is quickly rendering task comments useless for us.
I understand removing clutter, etc.
But let’s say I have a task list with 3 tasks underneath. Each task is assigned to a different person but they are all using this task list to achieve a unified goal. With their assigned tasks, each person is able to record time and leave comments on their task that might help another person (or themselves later) as well as the project manager (person who assigns tasks).
A month goes by and the list is complete and each thing is checked off by whomever. But when the next month comes around absolutely no one can see if there were comments left and what they might need to pay attention to currently.
Sorry, I know I’m not probably explaining this well enough from a user standpoint but it would be very helpful to at least have an indication of a comment present. Basecamp achieves this very well if you’re looking for an example.
Thanks!
