Add Comment Field When Returning Forms to Editor During Review

Add Comment Field When Returning Forms to Editor During Review

Description:
When reviewing a form, there is currently no option to include a comment when sending it back to the editor. This lack of functionality makes it difficult to communicate why the form is being returned, often requiring a phone call or in-person meeting to explain the issues.

This process is time-consuming and undermines the goals of simplicity, efficiency, and traceability in digital workflows. I propose adding a comment field that becomes available when a reviewer chooses to return a form to the editor. This would allow for clear, documented feedback directly within the platform.

Benefits:

  • Saves time by reducing the need for external communication
  • Improves clarity and transparency in the review process
  • Enhances traceability and documentation of feedback
  • Supports better collaboration between reviewers and editors

Suggested Implementation:

  • Add an optional comment field in the "Return to Editor" action
  • Display the comment in the form’s activity log or history
  • Notify the editor with the comment included
