I'll let the UX team decide if this is desirable enough or not, copying them
in.

Have you considered using comments, then? You can insert them easily with Ctrl
+ Alt + C, and make them always visible with View > Comments.

Reports that focus on a specific issue are a lot more likely to be actioned and
resolved. I am refocusing this one on "single-click to edit", and you can open
a new report about default colours if you'd like that to change.

Thank you!
