Comments: Add tags/categories/hashtags

[Innders]

Story

A comment belongs to a specific category, "client", "external", "review", "feedback, "wip".

Problems

• Are the tags predefined somewhere, if so where?
• Adding tags from a dropdown is clunky
• Where does this data exist on the activity object?
• Can you filter by tags?
• Do tags have different colours?
• Can anyone add tags or only the author?

Proposal

You can add any tag using #. The most common tags will be suggested. These hashtags exist in the body are special, a bit like checklists. I'm not sure how this would work if you weren't the author of the comment.

Example:

This is looking so good, approved on our side!

#client

I like that we'd just use tags for this, we already have tags on entities, so this could feel similar to the users and you could use multiple on the same comment. Regarding the questions:

Are the tags predefined somewhere, if so where?

• I think in project anatomy actually. Same as other structural types, however, then we might need to actually call them comment tags or categories, Just treating them as #hashtags is also a pretty cool idea.

Adding tags from a dropdown is clunky

• maybe the #something in the body would be the best actually.

Can you filter by tags?

• certainly

Do tags have different colours?

• I would allow them to have a colour, but maybe not mandatory. that could then create more important tags like #clientfeedback compared to others #innocentcomment

Can anyone add tags or only the author?

• Author and managers woujld be the best probably

I like this approach, but it might not be suitable for a client who requires tagged comments while keeping the main text free of tags.

The client uses tags primarily for filtering comments, with the body of the text reserved for reviewing slate versions. Tags can also indicate the intent behind a comment. For example, here's a set of tags included in a comment: pseudo version comment.

• Addressed feedback on body posture (tags: for_client, wip)

Offering a predefined set of tags to users could help prevent misspellings and typos.
