Task comment

A feature request:
I use the comment-field to describe the test and sometimes a short procedure to solve the problem when the test is bad. So I don't have to make a different mail body and action profile for each test. (I use %taskcomment% in a more general mail-body)
Is it possible to make a realy multi-line text-box for the comment-field ?
(if there isn't enough place, you can use a separate pop-up box to fill in the comment?)

Regards,
Gdvl

Yes, it will be implemented using popup box. And you will be able to use new separated macro variables for different lines, like %CommentLine1%, %CommantLine2%, etc. But it will be implemented after 1st release.

Done. Try version 3.19. What's new: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/news.htm

Ok, great, but:
Is it possible to make one %CommentLineX% multilined ? (ok, it's a little bit confusing)
Compare with fields in Excel where one row can be multi-lined.
Now you have to know the exact number of lines, if you use %CommentLineX% for specific data.

I understand what you mean. Probably exel-like comments will be implemented in next versions. Now you have to know exactly number of line.

Alex,

I'm reviewing my use of task-comment:
Our task-comment was growing to a little documentation tool.
I discovered I can better use 'related URL' to link a document (txt, doc, pdf, visio, ...)
Suggestion: in future versions, maybe you can change that name in "related info" and add a browse button to find the document ? (or still fill in an URL)

Of course, the use of different %taskcommentX% macro's is very usefull for mail actions, etc

Thus: HM gives me what I need !!

Gdvl

Browse button to select a file? Yes, I think its possible.
