Purpose

This attribute adds an entry to the journal of the project. A journal can be used to record events, decisions or news that happened at a particular moment during the project. Depending on the context, a journal entry may or may not be associated with a specific property or author.

A journal entry can consist of up to three parts. The headline is mandatory and should be only 5 to 10 words long. The introduction is optional and should be only one or two sentences long. All other details should be put into the third part.

Depending on the context, journal entries are listed with headlines only, as headlines plus introduction or in full.
