In order to add a subscriber to a Phabricator task, you have to know to click "Edit Task" and then you're presented with a full edit form. This feels like overkill. A more lightweight editor would be nice to have in Phabricator so that you can add subscribers from the main task page, similar to how Bugzilla behaves.

Comment Actions
You have an "Add CCs" action in the Add Comment form.

Comment Actions
Aha. It seems the "Add Comment" box does more than just add comments. :-) Good to know, thanks!
Comment Actions
Perhaps "Subscribers" in the top task information box should be "Subscribers (+)" or something, where clicking the "+" would jump down to the "Add Comment" box with an appropriate Action (in this case, "Add CCs") selected. That would be a lot more discoverable, I think.
Comment Actions
You're welcome. I think it's worth to get a bit of practice, like with any new tool. I guess this is Resolved.
Comment Actions
Not really resolved. I'd like to continue thinking about whether the current "Action" drop-down menu is discoverable enough.
Comment Actions
true. honestly it's not immediately clear to me either why some actions like "create subtask" or "merge duplicates" are separate and not considered "actions" while other things like "change priority" or "change status" are Actions in the drop down menu.
Comment Actions
I'd like to continue thinking about whether the current "Action" drop-down menu is discoverable enough.
I doubt any thought is needed to establish that it clearly is not. The dropdown comes below a "Add Comment" header and changing status is clearly not a subset of adding a comment.

Should this task be merged with T870: attributes in a task should be modifiable in-line rather than having to go to an edit mode?
