NetBox version

v3.0.7

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Titles on the journal entries.

Use case

UI wise when writing long entries in current version it get messy and don't display all text.
Especially if adding links or ref to documentation.
messy

On the other hand If it would display all text, its easy to actually miss something important that is added within the journal.
As the entries can be very long.

So having a title on the entries would allow for an easier UI experience.
better
It would require ppl to press on the entries to actually check them.

Database changes

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Oct 11, 2021):

We decided to omit a title field for journal entries as it is often unnecessary. Requiring the user to add a title for a short note would be burdensome.

The output is truncated to 50 words, which IMO works quite well to convey the initial context of the message at a glance. Your screenshot above looks unusual because it contains a very long string of characters that's being treated as a single word.
