Using the “Add a comment” feature in a Board within a Sequence

Question

Is there a way to use the “Add a comment” feature in a Board that is used within a Sequence?

The feature works well when using the Board directly, but it is not available when the same Board is used within a Sequence.

I tested the same Board both within a Sequence and outside of a Sequence. The “Add a comment” feature works correctly when the Board is used outside of a Sequence, but not when it is used within a Sequence. Therefore, this does not seem to be a permissions issue.

Could you please let me know if there is a solution or workaround to enable this functionality within a Sequence?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi ​@TristanCell-level commenting is not currently available when a Board is accessed within a Sequence. This is why the Add comment option does not appear in a sequence. To use native cell comments, you’ll need to open the underlying Board directly outside the Sequence.

A workaround we use: add a text-type input metric called Comment on the same dimensions as the numbers (or a coarser level, such as cost centre x month) and put it in the table as an extra column. Users type their note next to the figure. Unlike native comments, you can also show all comments in one review table and export them. Worth testing in your Sequence, but it relies on data entry rather than the comment feature.
