Dashboard: Task "Comment" #777
Description
Would it be possible to add the capability of adding a Comment under a Task in the Dashboard? I know I can do that by opening the Note where the Task lives and write the indented comment under that Task. It would be nice if possible, when processing Tasks from the Dashboard plugin to have the ability to write a Comment under a Task without opening the actual note. This would be specially useful when using an iphone.
Also if possible the Task in the Dashboard could be capable of being Expanded and Collapsed to see the Comments under the Task to continue to process such Task.

The purpose of the Comment is to give some follow up information for an Incomplete Task.
Just to give some context to a Task and help decide how to proceed.
Thanks for considering this.

@EJGarba thanks for this.
The Dashboard is designed to be a quick view of all the things you've decided you should be working on, from wherever it's stored in NP, and manage those tasks. The display is therefore different from the main notes view.
I don't want it to show every possible comment, bullet, quote or subtask under a task. At least not by default.
In your example, which appears to be CRM, I'm surprised you wouldn't want to see the whole of the details of "Client X" before contacting them. I.e. at that point you don't want a Dashboard view, but to click on the task to open up the full note for Client X. Have I missed something?
I am considering adding a different mode to Dashboard to allow indented info to be shown. If I was to do that would the first indented line be enough?
