I don't think there's any way to flag an update other than by responding to it with something that you can search on, like hashtags.

I'm not sure if that's an option since I don't know your users and setup, but that's the ideal solution since any time some question comes up regarding the outcome of a task, I wouldn't want someone going through their updates looking for the historical record of how something came to be that way. If there's critical data, can the person creating the update, or the assigned user, use a task custom form field to update the new direction? Our project owners have a sort of journal entry field where they can date and describe direction changes for future reference, for example. -skye

And for filter, here you go: 

tags:userID=5763e84100118a65465e7681d2d7ffc9 tags:userID_Mod=in

Make sure to replace the ID with the relevant user you want to isolate the tagged comments by. Hope this helps Anna Khachatryan Workfront

Hi Skye, With the release in July, you'll be able to filter on collections. https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000586214-Referencing-Collections-in-a-Report Until then, I don't see how you'd be able to do this. --Narayan

Hi Skye, Here's the text code you should use in a note type report to get the names of the tagged users:

displayname=Note Tag Name listdelimiter= listmethod=nested(tags).lists textmode=true type=iterate valuefield=user:name valueformat=HTML
