Hi everyone,
we have been quite happy that highlighting and commenting in test steps was finally possible with Jama 8.25. Unfortunately this feature makes a hard break when it comes to how review comments are ultimately cared for in the actual item.
In the Review view comments and their corresponding location in the item are connected by the highlight. When the author of the reviewed item now goes ahead to implement the changes resulting from the review s/he choses the "Edit item" option from the Review Center, as this is - as far as we found out so far - the only place where the Review Center comments are displayed and the item is editable. In this view though the connection from the review comment is not connected anymore to the location the highlight was set to.
We understand that the highlighted text is displayed in the respective comment on the rights side where all comments are listed, but as this edit view uses the "crippled" edit mode for teststeps, it makes searching for the phrases almost impossible, as the teststeps are not completely visible (only after clicking into each of them). Searching for the phrase via browser search is not possible either when the text is cropped.
As the comments are displayed in the order they have been added to the review (and not in the order of their occurence in the reviewed item) the order is of no great help either.
The only workaround we have found so far is to open a second browser window (on a second monitor, if you have one...) and to open the Review-view on the second monitor to visually correlate the review comments to their location.
What we would like to see is a view where editing an item is possible and the correlation of Review Center Comments is possible.
