Enforce description and comment for rules - as an option in global settings

16 votes

In larger environments there is mostly not only one admin working on the system.
Sometimes rules are implemented without a comment/description which makes it hard to find out what was the reason.
for example:
- disabled services
- notification rule which does not match the standards

Also for audits it can be very helpful as it ensures there is a comment maybe even linked to the ticket/CRQ.

Therefore it would be nice if this could be enforced via global settings that its not possible anylonger saving a rule without description and comment
