Hi Polina,
I’m glad you guys like the idea. I can tell you that I’m finding greater potential with this and I think you guys would really have a great feature on your hands that I have not seen anywhere else in the market. Because with a rollup of comments from children Entity, you can have the Parent - which can often be a Goal, Objective, Project, Epic, etc., get automatic updates in this “comments highlights stream” from any of its children entities in real time chronological order.
Here’s an example. My team has now developed a Template where we have a Project that we use when developing some of our software features. The project can contain “general” tasks, like research something, send Emails to users about releases, etc. that are not specifically dev-oriented. We have not also created an Epic Type that pulls in dev work, bugs, user stories. This Epic is also sub to the project.
So now, at the top “Project level,” if we have anybody working in any of these children “work” entities of tasks, research, bugs, user stories, etc. and they comment with their progress, the main project will pick up the comment and automatically have a running update, without the need to actually double that commentary in the Project entity itself!. This is super powerful, and as I have mentioned, we almost have it with the lookup of References from other entities.
Here is a good read on how valuable comments are to keeping up-to-date tasks and projects, and why I think as you guys get real bonafide product teams in Fibery, you will start to see this as both a huge need, and if you release this feature, a huge benefit over the competition:
Thanks again and I really hope you can make this one happen!
