Can you add comments or notes to an action item in a meeting notes

[Ian Knight]

We assign action items to our meeting notes.

The first thing we do in the next meeting is go through the incomplete meeting note tasks.

How can we add notes/comments to these tasks so that they are visible in the next meeting note created?

Hi Ian,

You could use inline comments for this (see: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Commenting+on+pages+and+blog+posts#Commentingonpagesandblogposts-Addaninlinecomment )

Best Regards,

Peter We tried that but you cant add a comment to a task as it has a @mention in it!

Hi Ian, I just tried it and was able to do inline comments on action items without a problem (just don't select the @mention part): http://i.imgur.com/709v0fN.jpg Best Regards, Peter

Peter I just tried it again and I get the following error 'We can't add your inline comment; the section you highlighted may contain a macro or user mention. Try highlighting plain text.' I only highlighted a bit of plain text not the @mention or date. This could be an error, are you using the cloud version? Even if this worked the comment would only be on this page, not with the task.

I'm using Confluence 5.7.1 Server version, so it might be related to the Cloud version. You do have a point that it's not related to the task. I don't believe it's possible to add extra comments on a task in Confluence, you could ofcourse create a JIRA issue for it and link that from the Action List.
