I think that all remembered items should have a "details" sections. This would just be an editable text field. Currently, everything has to be crammed into the "name" of the item. (See this by using the website, click on any reminder and look at the "name" field.) By default, the "details" section would contain the same information that's in the "context" section now. The difference is that it would be editable.
I want to be able to add details to my items. For instance, there currently isn't a way to add driving directions or a list of items to bring to an appointment. I don't want to change the name of the appointment, I want the "meeting with Tony" to stay the same. (As a further idea, when an item is created or updated by email, maybe we could optionally specify the name of an item by using @name ?)
Lists already have a "details" section. Lists currently have a "name" and a separate text area for the elements in the list. This makes it easy to edit the items in the list (the "details") separately from the name of the list. Looking at the website, every list has a separate text area where the elements of the list can be edited. I'm suggesting that a text area like this be added to every item. The text are can be labeled "details".
Adding "details" to an appointment would blur the line between an appointment and a "note". It would give people the ability to add "notes" to an appointment, etc. I know in the past some people have suggested that we should be able to change the type of an item from "appointment" to "note". I think that was suggested because it wasn't possible to add notes to an appointment. I think adding "details" would solve the problem. It sure would help me out.
