Comment text entry field for Groups?

Any plans for this? Would be pretty essential in case we'd ever be aiming for using Groups as a snippet replacement in the far future, no?

Why not use Map Script as a place for comments?

Because it's an ugly, inelegant approach.

Initially I wanted to introduce notes as a general mechanism that works with any components (notes attached to components, including groups) or without them (just free-floating notes), not just for groups per se.

However, the need to describe grouped snippets never occurred to me. Built-in components have Help links for this purpose. Similarly, notes could be a property of a component, not just something attached to it.

On the other hand, Groups are open and enterable, so it would make sense to include notes there (some would be attached to the group output component, some would be free-floating, some attached to group controls / inputs. However, with this approach it would be impossible to view notes before adding the group to the Editor canvas and going inside it.

On the visibility of a note attached to the group out -- yes, this occurred to me as well.

That´s a great idea!

Yup, that´s what I like most about the idea. Notes are nice too ofc
Not having access to controls drives me mad with my current beast of a filter with too many controls and nested groups:D

So this will be a limitation that we'll have to live with in FF 4.0?
