One of our departments would like to be able to add comments to the Active Lifecycle Steps tile. They monitor the work and want to keep track of why an active step has not been completed for some time.  I tried creating a copy of the Active Lifecycle Steps tile and adding a field to it, but have not been able to do so successfully.  Has anyone else done something like this and could assist me?

@SVarney your first challenge is where should the comments about the governance process be created/managed in the system. There isn’t an OOTB place for managing comments about all/any lifecycle steps. You could utilize a project level custom text field that is maintained in a “Governance Status” configured screen, or in a column.

The Active Lifecycle Steps tile is a Customised Table Tile type, which means it uses a SQL query and also a database view. You can’t update the database view, but, if you know SQL and the database then you could update the query to add the column. I’d recommend engaging with the Professional Services team, using some Remote Advisory Service hours, to better explore options and get help with building the solution.

Also be aware that the Active Lifecycle Steps tile is “Owned” by Product Development, so important to make a new/copy tile for your changes, so that an update does not overwrite your changes.
