Hi there!

I’m a big fan of the Status Preview field in the project. I would love to see something similar for tasks, like a “Latest Comment” field that could serve as a timestamped last entry and also as a latest status update. Currently, I manually summarize the task status (either manually or using AI) and post it as a comment. It would be fantastic if I could see this in list view!

Thanks!  
Craig
