Use cases

DCOMMENT captures review feedback on document versions, linked via comboKey SUB|DRECORD|DVERSION|DCOMMENT. The comment text (name field) is readonly after creation to preserve the audit trail. Status tracking (Open > Resolved > Closed) with resolvedBy and resolvedDate provides evidence of comment disposition - essential for regulated document management. Responses (DRESPONSE) are linked via the five-part comboKey SUB|DRECORD|DVERSION|DCOMMENT|DRESPONSE, creating threaded discussions. The hiddenOnNew property on the status field hides the resolution workflow when creating a new comment, simplifying the creation form. The autoOpen:true setting means comments open in the editor immediately when clicked in the parent version's comment list, streamlining the review workflow.
