Comment functionality removed in 0.17 ?

[shoenix]

Today I wanted to annotate an escalated event by adding a comment, but it seems this functionality had disappeared ? I used this in 0.16 and below, but I cannot find anything related in the changelog, or am I looking in the wrong place ? I'm running against Elasticsearch.

Yes, sorry about this. Got dropped, from the frontend only while migrating libraries. I'll bring it back as it all the support is still there on the backend.

Jason, thanks for the confirmation. I really use this to annotate escalated events so I can archive and use them in report generation monthly. This gives an overview and history on investigated events and origin. I did see the overhaul of the event screen itself, which is much better in 0.17 as it contains a better overview of the available data.

I'll keep an eye out when this is brought back.

I'm traveling all next week so it probably won't be til the week after. Anyways, this feedback is very valuable as I had always questioned, the value of comments and just thought they always got lost. I'd be curious to know if you had more thoughts on how to make them better.

Jason, no hurries. I reverted back to 0.16 for now since we got audited and I had to show them how I manage and track the incoming events. I would love to give more ideas on how to make this better. Do you want to have this here, or would you like me to send my ideas via mail ?

Fixed, will be in 0.19.0.
