Perhaps a couple of workarounds in the meantime ;-)

1. add a copy of the source file to your project with a different name, then when you need to share comments on the source copy source to target, add your comments and save the target... or
   
   
2. Make the comments in the target and use the export for bilingual review to share them with your customer.

I must admit I'm not a fan of adding this capability to Studio unless it's a trivial task.  But I guess adding the comments is one thing (which may not be trivial since Editor changes always seem to be tricky), but then making the Save Source pick up the comments and include them is another.  But the ideas site is a good idea.

Hi Paul, 

Adding a copy of the source file to the project with source copied to target... that's the best workaround yet ...

I suspect that exporting for bilingual review would not meet the need, as it's just the specific segments the client wanted to export and that can be achieved already via the Comment View Plugin export.

Thanks!

Hi again Paul Filkin

The person who I made this request for liked your idea no. 1...

A stroke of genius... I wish I'd thought of it 

One could also copy source to target within the actual file then filter for the segment/s in question and export that to an SDLXLIFF via the Advanced display filter...

OR... one could even keep the incorrect text in the Source segment and the corrected text in Target with a comment then export that, filtering for comments...
