[Feature Request] Blueprint/Bolt style comment box
I'M BACK!
So as I'm getting into some logic heavy/multiple part conversations, I'm finding it would be really very useful to have Bolt and UE4 Blueprint style comment boxes to put around and visually notate what's going on in a given chunk of a conversation. I already move between conversations but some of those conversations are basically logic switch conversations to get me to the right conversation or second-visit conversations and it'd be nice to be able to tell them apart/what they do quickly.
Here's an example from those each of those systems to show what I mean:
Bolt: https://i.imgur.com/ZYRN8Jg.png
UE4 Blueprints: https://i.imgur.com/fSArKA7.jpg
Probably be a little bit of work (Draw a rect, maybe allow color selection, and a little text label in its top corner) but I think it's a pretty nice feature with a lot of utility for larger conversations/projects.

That would be handy to add. It won't make it into 2.2.10, but I'll look into it for a future version.

Not sure if this counts as necroing, but I wanted to see if there was any movement on this one.
It'd be very, very valuable for my conversations as they are written in a way that would benefit strongly from notation and visual outlining.

Hi,
I'm trying to get it into the editor rewrite coming in version 2.3.

Thanks for the update, you hero of the people. I'll continue to sleep with a printout of your forum avatar under my pillow to keep you safe from the demons.
Re: [Feature Request] Blueprint/Bolt style comment box
lol, a slooow hero. I'll get 2.3 done eventually! It's a big rewrite, but I think it will result in some nice improvements, especially performance improvements for very large databases.

Oh that sounds great! Unfortunately it's not working for me at all
My DS version is 2.216, is there something that could cause this shortcut to not work in my project?
Thanks
