Commenting in cell turns border green = GREAT --- but NOT visible enough

We were so excited to see that when one makes a comment in a data element box, the cell border turns green to alert users to a comment in the box.

However it is almost impossible to see the green border since it so closely resembles the black border on many people’s screens (with screen brightness/augmentation/etc). Please see screenshot for example. comment%20green%20box

Is there a way to make the border thicker? Or have a marker like Excel does (the small triangle in the upper right hand corner when there’s a comment?)

Thank you!

Having a clearer way to see comments would be extremely useful. We are just finishing a training where the immediate question from new users is: but how can we tell if there is a comment for this data element? I find the way that Excel marks comments is very clear and unobtrusive, maybe something similar could work in DHIS2?

Hi, thanks for highlighting this issue! Agreed that it would be very helpful to have a clearer indication of comments on data elements. We are tracking this issue as a feature on JIRA, and it is currently a work in progress. You can find the ticket here: [DHIS2-6202] - Jira
