UX Design Change - location of the "bulk edit" comment box

When the "Add" button is selected for adding comments for bulk edit operations in the grading area, the text box can be quite tiny if the other elements in the table (outcome descriptions, etc.) are lengthy. Consider moving the textbox to a new row in the table instead of adding it to the same cell as the "add" link

    Hey Folks -

    I have some good news on this Idea!

    Just a quick update as we revamped the bulk skill editor via the new end of term grade entry experience. The modal is now a full screen experience, giving you more screen real estate to view larger comments. I'll include a a screenshot of the new experience below.

    In order for this to take effect, a Platform Manager will need to enable to new experience by going to Core > Settings > Activate new features, once enabled this screen will become accessible to faculty.

    Please make this update! When a teacher goes in to Bulk edit a text in their reports, the text area is very small. When you expand it, it's not centered at all and makes editing VERY hard. The text box doesn't even allow you to see the right edge of your writing! Please consider voting for this idea!

    HI Ben,

    It's in the Grading tab. Here's a partial screenshot of the "bulk edit" interface that appears. It's the same result whether faculty arrive at this interface by clicking the Grading tab of one of their classes, or by clicking the Grading links that appear in Faculty > My Day > Schedule and Performance.

    Hi! Could you please clarify which exact grading area you are referring to? (e.g. the Gradebook, or the Grading tab for a course, or a different interface) This can help us determine the right organization for this idea. A screenshot would be ideal -- thank you!
