Ability to add or edit Labels at the "Idea Comment/Change Status" level

I just wrote this and it lost it...server timeout, so this is the abbreviated version.

 

Current Functionality

If an idea has the incorrect label or is missing a label, you can only change it by going "Edit Idea" > Edit/Add Label > Post idea.  This isn't as intuitive or obvious to Ideas facilitators/product management, because they're more focused on commenting on ideas and updating idea statuses.  Plus, if an idea doesn't have the right label on it, then the business owner might not see it, so it's not helping ensure that ideas are getting funneled to the right people in the organization (e.g. think X idea needs X label to be seen by X biz owner).


Requested Functionality

Expand the idea comment/status change functionality to let facilitators/moderators/admins (basically, anyone with that permission) edit or add labels to an idea.  And not have to go into Edit mode.


Business Impact

  • Expand Ideas facilitators' role in the discussion.
  • Make it easy to get ideas to the right place in the company & in the Ideas app
  • Save time
  • Reduce click-intensiveness point of moderation

Thanks for the idea Roxy. I agree its not much fun going into the admin area and adding a label for the idea exchanging and then going back to the idea to change the label associated with it. I do want to point out that what you are asking is at an idea level or an idea exchange level? It makes sense to have a set of labels to manage a mini-workflow of sorts within an idea exchange to be consistent. I guess you are suggesting adding the new label from an idea page, but it adds it as an extra label to the idea exchange. Right?
