Comments of translation job

I'm testing an integration of TD15.1.2 and WorldServer 11.8.3. I fount a small change regarding a translation job. In Tridion Docs 15.1.2, the input for the Comments text box has been changed to be mandatory. Typically, we don't enter comments for a translation job. Therefore, I would like to request that the specification be reverted so that the input for the Comments text box can be optional.

    Hi Alvin,

    I had not asked RWS Support regarding this matter, but I realized that this is configurable with the MetadataConfig.xml file. Currently, our MetadataConfig.xml is specified as follows regarding the Comments field of a translation job:

     <ishfrmfield name="FISHTRANSJOBTARGETFIELDS_CommentsField" ishfieldref="FCOMMENTS" level="lng">
       <label resourceref="FCOMMENTS.Label">&amp;Comments</label>
       <description resourceref="FCOMMENTS.Description">Additional free text information.</description>
       <typemultilinetext />
       <mandatory />
       <value overwrite="yes" ishcondition="ChangeMode = 'Create'" />
     </ishfrmfield>

    The Comments field of a translation job will be optional by removing the <mandatory /> tag.

    Thank you for your suggestion regarding this matter.

    Best,
    Naoki
