Account Data Alert - user should be restricted to save the issue if they have not justified the account data alert

If a variance or threshold is violated according to how it has been setup. If there is an alert, the user should not be able to save the record without justification (either in the reference box, the comments or another section)

    Thank you for raising this idea. We are planning to address this requirement and although have not yet committed to a release quarter, we hope to have a solution in 1H 2026.

    The proposed solution will involve a settings page for account style alerts that will allow clients to specify whether alerts of a certain severity level require comments before saving. E.g., you may specify a comment is only required for high severity alerts.

    On the data capture form, we expect to provide a new field for comments which would be stored as a Note against the account record. We will update this ticket once this work is committed on the roadmap.
