Suggested investigations: Allow editing the notes column when the status is open
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Summary

We have received feedback requesting that it should be possible to add content to the "Notes" column while leaving the case as open

Background

  • A user using CheckUser-SuggestedInvestigations may want to add content to the "Notes" column without closing the case as invalid or closed
    • For example, adding context about why they were unable to complete the case if they started and then stopped dealing with a case

User story

As a checkuser:

  • I look at a given CheckUser-SuggestedInvestigations case and start investigating it
  • I find that the case is more complicated than I expected and so cannot continue to process it
  • I have notes that I want to add to the case to make it easier for the next CheckUser to pick up from where I left off
  • I try to add to the "Notes" column using the change status dialog, but need to set the status to closed before I can add content to the text box

Specification

  • We should always show the "Notes" input when a user opens the change status dialog and allow text to be entered even if the user did not change the status from "open"

Acceptance criteria

  • The specifications above are met
