In Eclipse, the Approvals presentation contains a hyperlink to "Add Comment", when selected the user is taken into the Discussion Comment editor where they can add a new discussion comment.
Whilst this is a useful capability in some scenarios, it is based on the expectation that the owner of the work item would like approval comments added as discussion comments and that the work item includes discussion comments in it's editor presentation. Neither of these expectations are true in all use cases.
For the use case we have, the work item editor presentation intentionally does not include discussion comment because they should not be used, however the approvals are needed, it therefore causes confusion that when someone selects the "Add Comment" link in the approvals, nothing happens.
The Web presentation of the work item editor does not include a "Add Comment" link, it would be better if Eclipse either aligned with that presentation and never presented the "Add Comment" link, or there was a method to disable the link in the Eclipse approvals of specific work items.
I have noticed that in the default approvals section there is a property for "discussion" (see below), I had hoped that removing that property might remove the "Add Comment" link from Eclipse but it does not appear to have any effect that I can see.
