Issue STUDIO-2638: No universal way to make comments across GUI and XML
This jira is a bit unusual.. The problem I find is that because I am limited on the comments I can make on the studio canvas on message processors (name:doc) I end up also writing comments in the xml, this spreading out of comments to describe what the application is doing can be confusing.. I believe we need to come up with a strategy and common way of making comments, this could potentially be addressed by : http://www.mulesoft.org/jira/browse/STUDIO-2550 What I like about making notes in the xml is that I can view all the notes without having to click into components or hovering my mouse over them in the GUI.... I would probably use the description attribute to give detailed description of what the message processor does and then I would like to sometimes be able to put a 1/2 line brief description of what it does somewhere on the canvas. because doc:name attribute does not do text wrap and descriptions over a few words make the canvas look messy and forces message processors to spread out this is not a good way of labelling.. Sorry for this Jira.
