Description

I suppose that it is on purpose that the comments added to tickets are not
shown in the timeline…

However, I see at 2 problems with that approach:

  • The timeline filter says Ticket changes yes/no, which is misleading
  • When you add something meaningful to an old ticket, chances are high that this won't be noticed for a while…

For instance, I made a contribution (an interesting one, imho) to #234.
To be sure that this will get noticed, I could have created a new ticket for
it (*) linking to the old one for good measure, or announced it on the mailing-list…

But wouldn't it be simpler if it was shown as a ticket change in the timeline?

Possible solution:

  • Change the current filtername from "Ticket changes" to "Tickets status changes"
  • Add another filter "Ticket contributions", which enables/disables viewing the added comments

(*) one could argue that this was indeed what I've done :)
