Hi

One design feature for DHIS aggregated data that has been there since 1997
is the COMMENT field - which is used to support a "rich picture" by
enabling users to add explanatory comments or additional info linked
directly to a specific data value.

Why are there no comment fields within Events and Tracker? It's of course
possible to add additional attributes or data elements to store the "richer
picture" but it would be preferable to have the COMMENT option as an
alternative.

Regards
Calle
