Comment: Extend with current step name

Hi,

it would be great, if the comment (WFD_Description) would be extended with step name in which the comment has been added.

Maybe the information could be stored in the format:
STPID#DefaultLabel$$DE$$Translated Label"

This would allow us to select the correct label if we are parsing the comment ourself.

Best regards,
Daniel

Dear Daniel,

I don’t think this is an option, because this information is already stored in WFHistoryElements.
Every additional comment added during a path transition or via the Save button is written to WFH_Description.
This is also how the element history displays them as related to the specific step and history version, comparing them to the previous version.

Best regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

from a pure technical point of view this would be possible.

The WFD_description stores all information for each comment in a JSON object. Extending this object with two new properties "Step Id", "Step Label" wouldn't be a issue. It would also be possible to migrate the existing comments to the new format using the WFHistoryElements information. It's possible to identify in which version a new comment has been added which could be used to store the step.

A colleague combined these information to fulfill a customer request. While it's working, the performance isn't the best.

Best regards,
Daniel
