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.

  • Have you had the chance to check with RWS Support if this is expected behavior? If not, perhaps this could be checked and addressed for your setup if not TD15.1.2 in general.

    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
