Directus Field Comments

This extension allows users to leave comments on individual fields. Once configured, all included fields will show the comment icon next to the field label to identify which fields can accept comments. A badge will appear on this icon when comments have been left for that field.

Click on the comments icon next to field name to open the comments feed where you can read through the comments or leave a new comment of your own. You can use the @ symbol to tag and notify other users and also use emojis.

Please note, comments do not appear when creating a new item. It must be saved first, before comments can be added.

4. (Optional) If you only want some fields to be included, uncheck Use All Fields and choose fields from the dropdown.
