Application Comment Field
I foresee us regularly using the "Add Comment" feature within the application to communicate with our applicants. As an administrator, when I check the box "Show Applicant this Comment" the field is highlighted in blue, but when I switch to the applicant view it isn't highlighted. Instead it appears saying "Administrator Comments: Program Highlight" which blends in with the rest of the application. To make sure our applicants see our comments we have to spell out where they are in an email so they don't miss them. Would it be possible to have the header "Administrator Comments:" be highlighted for the applicant as well? This would save us time from having to spell out where the comments are within the application and it would make this great feature even greater.
My apologies if this idea has already been proposed and I missed it.
I love the new features in 4.1.0!

This should now be in production as part of the 4.3.0 release.
Thanks again for the suggestion,

This should be fixed in our Demo environment. Our next release should be this week, at which time this will be in production and I'll mark this as "Implemented."
Thanks,

Hi Kristen,
First, thanks for the suggestion. Based on what you're saying and on the history of the feature, I believe you're identifying a "bug" that was introduced with 4.1.0. We will be addressing this in 4.3.0 (tentatively sometime in late March) so that the questions that have "Administrator Comments" are highlighted for applicants as well.
Second, thanks for the praise for the 4.1.0 features. 4.1.0 took longer than I had planned, but I believe it delivered a lot of value, and I'd rather take more time to get it right than try to rush a release. We did have some issues related to 4.1.0 - but given the scope of the release, that wasn't surprising. I was happy with how quickly we were able to address those issue, and I believe the 4.1.0 release has really taken Foundant GLM to another level.
Look for your suggestion to be implemented later next month, and thanks again for contributing to the Idea Lab.
