For audit purposes, your organization’s guidelines may require that all users provide documentation when adding, editing, or deleting objects. You must specifically enable mandatory comments, as the comment field is optional by default.
To make comments mandatory when editing objects:
- Select the Settings tab in the sidebar.
- Under System settings, select Change control comments.
- Select the Require change control comments check box to make the Change control comment section of create/edit/delete pages mandatory. If this option is selected, users must provide a comment in the Change control comment section of create/edit/delete pages before the operation is allowed. If this option isn't selected, change control comments are optional.
- In the Change control section, add comments if required.
- Select Update change control comments setting.
