Adding Comments or updates

Koko_D

Hello! We have tasks added to a line. At the end, a comment field is used to add the updates per meeting. As you can imagine, that can get quite lengthy! How do you add comments or updates to each task?

Consider using the Comment feature instead of a growing field. Comments can be tied to an individual row (as sounds like you'd use for your use case), as well as to an entire sheet. Read more here:

Along with the Comment feature, you may need visibility to the "active" comment in the sheet itself without looking in the conversation pane - in your example above, 6/12/24 following up with Sean again. You can create a "Latest Comment" column on your sheet, that will basically mirror the latest comment (hence the name). Read more about that here:

Good luck!
