Event Timeline

The same thing happens with other task types. It's a limitation of how we have integrated the help panel with the MobileFrontend overlay system. As it's not a recent regression specific to Add-Link I propose we untag it from that project as well as the current sprint, and push back dealing with this until other parts of the project are done. Does that sound OK @RHo?

Ahhh sad that it is happening across all tasks, but moving back in prio from initial release is fine by me, but I suggest we keep the 'Add link' tag and move into the improvements epic T276517 since this cames across as much more obvious a bug when the help button is part of the link inspector sheet.
