Text Block Widget in Dashboard needs to be editable

The fact that you can't live edit the Text Block Widget in Dashboards without opening it up makes it pretty unusable. Would be great to also add the ability to tag users in notes.

I definitely support this suggestion. Jon Darbyshire, having the ability to add text blocks into the dashboards enable us to create headers and sections, and can potentially let us add footnotes and asterisk notes under each chart. This is definitely important.

Hiya Amanda Peers, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:

Can you provide more details on how you envision the live editing feature for the Text Block Widget?
What specific functionalities would you like to see for tagging users in notes?
Can you share any specific scenarios where the current setup has hindered your workflow?

Amanda Peers

Jon Darbyshire absolutely! I would be mostly using this for weekly meetings. The ability to have notes about what needs to get talked about would be great. 
I CAN go into settings to edit it, but to me that kind of makes it useless and just an extra step to use the widget. I want to be able to check things off or add items without having to go to a "separate" or pop-up screen.
Tagging others could create a "mention" alert, like how comments do.
