Abyot, Sure, I know that - I'm just interested in why the comment field wasn't included per data value as it is for aggregated data. Was it a deliberate choice? Or simply that nobody thought about it at the time? I'm thinking of writing a JIRA issue for it, but would like to know if there are/were specific considerations against a data value comment field (and if yes, what they were).
