Why are comments made to an artifact, different from comments made to an open artifact in a module?
Why are comments made to an artifact, different from comments made to an open artifact in a module? This creates inconsistency. Was this part of the design or a bug? Scenario: open an artifact and make comment to it. Set this artifact to be a part of a module. Add "comments" to the column dispay in a module view. The comments made at an individual artifact will not show up. This is annoying. There is no column display of comments in a list of artifacts. There is no efficient way to view all comments made to a list of artifacts. When you have a module and make comments to the artifacts in the module view, they will show up in the "comments" module column display. When you open up the artifact, the comment will also show up as a comment to the artifact. Is it a bug that comments cannot be viewed in a module view if created in the artifact? If not then what was the logic behind the design?

It makes sense to me that comments to a bound artifact in a module are kept separate from the base artifact. What if you're commenting about the location of the artifact within the context of a module (ie - "Wouldn't it make more sense to move this down below section 3?")? You don't want that showing up in the base artifact. I think it would make more sense to put a comment field in the artifacts list rather than use the module comments field as a workaround. I would suggest adding your comments to this enhancement:
Show Artifact Comments Indicator in a Separate Grid Column (Not Module) (79695) Hope it helps, Joann Luu selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments Thank you for the response and the enhancement reference. The enhancement is exactly what I would like to see. It makes sense to keep comments bound to a module separte from the base, but then there is no effecient way to view artifacts with comments in a grid view. |
One other answer
It is possible to see the comments you made to a base artifact (an artifact outside a module) when you include the artifact in the module. Click on this icon
within the module to toggle on/off the links, tags, and comments form the base artifact.
Hope this helps. /Yianna |
