Add a filter for tasks with comments
Even though they can be seen in the widget in sidebar, it would be so much easier to add to these in the task list using the the comment icon and without having to open the task up and scroll to the bottom. Even better would be if when you click on the comment icon, you could not only add a comment but also have the list of comments in that same pop-up so you can edit or delete existing ones if needed. Context - as a solo pro user, I often add a comment after requesting an update using an email task and I add a comment saying “waiting for update” so that I can see it in the side widget until I’ve gotten a response. Then I delete the comment once I have response. So, by the end of the transaction my sidebar of comments is clear without having to keep tasks open in my list.

@Adrian Thomas - thanks for the suggestion! We can definitely make comments editable or deletable from the pop-up to avoid having to open the task and scroll.
Would an alternative option be to allow for users to choose multiple flags - and you can have one called “Awaiting Response” or something, so that you aren’t pulling tasks that do have comments but no action is required? Some users may store comments without deleting them.

That’s a good point about the comments, but I don’t think that would be a bad thing if they see all their comments since most users are not using them for task completion purposes anyways. That might be a nice consolidated area to see more comments in one central view in general, unless this already exists someone besides the widget sidebars? In those cases, you’d still have the option to filter by has comments and is active or is completed.
I would absolutely like to have a multiple flags per tasks options in general. But on that note, I already have a TON and a ton of presets, which I adore, but I’m also trying to thin those out.
Similarly, right now I have a flag for Scheduled emails, but I have to remember to check or uncheck autosend and also add or remove the Scheduled flag. Occassionally I forget to update in both places and then my presets don’t function as they should. If all of the icons located on the tasks could be filtered by, that would be amazing.
