Would be very helpful to have a box for free hand text for each task

Searched for other similar feature requests.

Expected Behaviour

A box underneath where the labels are define on the task view which enables you to add free text comments.

Context

Every day I autolabel all of the available data from the previous day but sometimes there's some caveat or problem, e.g. some camera feed was broken or lighting was very bad or similar. CVAT would be the best place for me to record this, with whatever frames were available and a quick comment stating why that data shouldn't be used in training or similar. I've even considered storing this information as a png and sending that as workaround.

Hi @GeorgePearse

I see the requirement, but not sure about use case is clear.
If the frame is broken (camera issues, lighting), you can remove it. Did you know about this feature?

[GeorgePearse]

Yes but the ideal scenario for me is that the frames remain there, almost like documentation of the problem. So that another Engineer can view and understand it, but maybe I'm torturing the desired use of CVAT.

Just feels like a relatively simple feature that would add quite a lot of flexibility.

[bsekachev]

"the frames remain there", actually, they stay. Just marked as deleted.

You can always toogle showing removed frames:

Another option with text is leaving an issue (but available only in review mode):

Other use cases:

• Adding small task specific instructions for labellers (or adding a link to instructions, or link to anything)
• Adding a description of that dataset, e.g. particularly dark

Flexible metadata is incredibly valuable.

For the latest two use-cases you provided, Issue tracker field exists for tasks and projects

It can be a link to google docs for example with any specification. Integration of something like markdown specification into CVAT is also solution, but even if we start implementing it, it will take some time.

So, I just suggested a quick solution.

Hey @bsekachev would you open to a PR to implement markdown rendering below the list of classes? (along with the API change to enable it to be written to a task)
