Have a minimum length validation for workflow comments

[michelle.stone]

Similar to the validator for fields in item details, it would be nice to have a minimum length for workflow comments.  It's great to have the 'comments required' option, but the ability to have a more complex regex.

I would actually like to see this implemented as a validation script. Only allow the workflow action if the comment meets this validation. I am not aware of a way to do this today.

The comment field could then be used as a "quick'n'dirty" user input field. I could see many uses, but one very simple use is tracking a inventory count.

If I force the user to put in a workflow action comment following the format: "(ADD / REM), (COUNT)"

I could have an ACTION script add a entry to the grid column with this information.

The validation is only to check that there wasn't a typo.

The action will add the grid entry.

It may not be the intended use of the comment field, but it would be a way to minimize the number of clicks for the user.
