@Sara_Jean_Kwapien How does what you are requesting differ from the “Activity” log that is in the bottom of detail views of records?
In my screenshot below, the last activity logged was from the press of a button that posts a “Started” timestamp and updates the status of the task to “In Development”, and you can see the prior update, when it was created, was “Entered”.
It looks like activity on this topic tapered down, @Neil_S, but does the “Comment” bubble on the right-hand side of Coda help in this regard? If you click and highlight a row, on the righthand side of the screen is a talk bubble icon that you can click and view comments from the main page.
If you want to make a task system (comment means unresolved task) then you could accomplish this with 1 or 2 fields for statussing and/or notes
The other “trick” is to have meetings so you can resolve all these issues in a batch. Batching work in meetings is very time economical. Ask yourself if you really need to waste time context switching like this in the first place
Adding a plus one for this. I am actually looking at this for a cross-doc scenario (mostly for row-based permission access to records).
So:
Main Doc for HR
Separate docs for leaders by who reports up to them
Example of a table where rows are employees
Because setting up permissions necessitates separate docs, we are trying to figure out if we can pull comments into a column to then pull them across docs.
