Should resolving comments change the comment originator ?
Here is a quick overview of our review process:
1 - Author creates the document and initiates the review
2 - Reviewer creates his comment
3 - Author responds to the comment, makes the necessary change and resolves the comment thread
4 - If the reviewer isn't satisfied with the response, he then opens a new comment.
A problem occurs on step 3 : Resolving the comment thread changes the originator of ALL the resolved comment to be the author, including the one that was originated by the reviewer.
This causes problems when reviewers then want to find out all their comments. Searching by the "From" field no longer works for them.
Are we using the product correctly ?
In my opinion, the originator of a comment should never change.
There should perhaps be a separate log that indicates who opened/resolved/re-opened comments for audit purpose.
Accepted answer
The PMR was confirmed and APAR PM77362 was created for this issue.
It has since been fixed in 4.0.0.2 via (PM77362) Resolving a comment changes author of comment in the Recent comments viewlet (port to 4.0.0.2) (67163) as well as 4.0.1 via Resolving a comment changes author of comment in the Recent comments viewlet (49509).
