Bulk Project Comments/Updates

Description - latest change to Project Edit screen removed the last vestige of posting comments by removing the ability to post comments to multiple Projects at once when bulk editing selected Projects.

 

Why is this feature important to you - there is no longer a simple way to put information/comments/updates on multiple relevant jobs creating multi-step process X each applicable project (could be 3, 10, 50, more). 

 

How would you like the feature to work - options (may be others) 1) at minimum, return to the way it very recently was where if you were bulk editing a project one could select the Comment box in the left pane to post a comment to multiple projects at once (cannot do this with single Project Edit for some time);  2) allowing us to Open Summary on Projects in bulk and add a comment;  3) at the very minimum provide Project-level Open Summary panel that includes Updates section as in other parts of the system -- this one doesn't remove the repetition but does reduce it as well as offering easier ways to interact with the Project level data points.

Current Behavior - must locate project, click into project, click on Updates 'tab', enter comment, post (with or without additional step of tagging others) then repeat for each relevant project (could be 3, 10, 2, 50, more).  This is a lot of time, steps, repetitive clicks (think ergo) and personal opinion -- boredom and frustration.

I agree that the bulk commenting on multiple projects must return.

A lot of our customers used this feature. Taking it off means a lot of effort for the likes of Portfolio/Program managers and coordinators. It would be nice if this feature can be brought back.

We also rely heavily on this functionality

I thought I had lost my mind.  I just went to bulk-add a comment for multiple projects and couldn't figure out why I wasn't seeing the option.  So frustrating!

Hi Tammie,

 

I have the exact same issue as a Portfolio Manager. I have 74 projects to update. I used to do this all in bulk, now I have to manually open each as you pointed out. A waste of time that was an efficient system previously.

 

Cheers for raising!
