is there a way to see the text of the most recent comment in the bar on the timeline?

[Lexi Sprague]

not just a count of comments but the text of the most recent comment itself

@Lexi Sprague @CC We don't have this functionality at the moment and this is the first time I've heard this request! How is showing the most recent comment on the timeline view helpful to you?

@Rohan Swami we would use it for status reporting.  At the moment I created a field called Last Status and added it to the timeline.  The tech folks want to use comments to report status and the business folks want a simple one liner update.

[Rohan Swami]

@CC One workaround I can think of is to create a text custom field and call it "status update" and you can update that field value with your update whenever it's time to report.

@Rohan Swami Thank you.  That worked.

I could use this function on both the software and JPD side.
