Add comment field to apps (particularly RM and HSM)

Add date-stamped, permanent, append-only comments to individual instances of apps, particularly RM and HSM.

Since rules cannot be saved, versioned, or have in-line comments (as compared to source code), it is very difficult for end users to track the status of rules (the intent of a rule, any odd behavior, etc).

Examples:

  • Maintain a comment that the SAGE doorbell device has numerous false alerts when the timeBetweenPresses value is less than 15. I arrived at this value over time (tweaking the rule). It would be very helpful to have a record with the rationale behind the value, and recording the various timeBetweenPresses values that were used and their behavior.

  • Keep a comment in a rule explaining why/how it works.

The notes section available in every rule isn't enough? You want more commenting area?

For RM, that's what the NOTES section at the bottom of the rule configuration page is for... Not exactly what you are asking for, but pretty close.
