Watcher UI: Comment field is never filled up, should be removed?

[spinscale]

Kibana version: 6.4.2
Elasticsearch version: 6.4.2

As seen in the above UI the Comment column is never filled up. I think the field value should not be a comment, but rather a watch status state, however even that is blank despite watches being fired.

Is this somehow a condition that I misread and is only set in certain conditions? If not, we should either show the right value or remove the column.

It would be nice to have a text field that can be filled with the description of the watch.

Hey @spinscale, I was looking around at this just now (was seeing if maybe we could set it via a transform script) but it looks like it the comment field is a constant set in code. For us, it mostly appears when actions are being throttled.

It is referenced here. I put a picture below showing it on some watchers we have set up

I believe the status page takes the comment from the latest watch history item, it would be awesome if it could be manually set though and expanded upon
