Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-01-04 09:42:21 EST 
From weitzman_d@hotmail.com 

At the moment a task description can only be one line (although a workaround
would be to attach the task to a source file and add a comment there).
There are some general tasks that would benift from longer descriptions
(i.e. "Add support for feature X.  This would involve Y.  An issue that
would be raised is Z.  One possible solution might be to Q.  Another would
be R, but that means S." etc.).  Simply having a task entry/modification
dialog box (the sort of dialog box you might find in a calandar program)
would be useful.  Perhaps the ability to auto-generate a text To-Do file
from tasks would be useful as well.

The length limit on the fields presented in the taskview is caused by the 
native table widget. There is work in progress to add support for getting 
context senstive help for tasks which will partially address this request. 

I am going to mark this defect as "helpwanted" as this is a great opportunity 
for someone in the community to address the other issues brought up in this 
defect report.

Defer until development resources become available.

Passing to Tod for consideration.
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2005-09-21 15:42:36 EDT 
It is just a matter of using a multi-line text - truncation is already handled.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
