Automatically set Comment as reminder by prefix

When I create a comment, it would be nice if there was an automatic way to set it as a reminder. For instance, if I use a specific prefix like "TODO:" or "FEATURE:" it would always be set as a reminder, and show up in the TRUECHANGE list!

What would cost more time, setting the text 'TODO'/ 'FEATURE' or clicking: reminder: true? I think the first. If you write it quickly you could make a error in the prefix and you won't see it at all.

You could use prefixes and lets assume you want that comment to be done before publish or going to production you use a search on that prefix.

I always add "TBD" or "TODO" anyway, so this would be a neat feature. Of course, the list of tags that trigger this should be configurable.

Would be much nicer (thought I already posted) to have the name of the action where the comment is, in the list of reminders. Now you'll only see a list and have no clue where it is for

Well, you can click the reminder iirc? This also goes for other warnings/errors btw.

I know, however if you are publishing you'll get the whole list and then you don't see where the reminder is

If a comment begins with the word "TODO", set "Reminder" to "Yes" automatically.

When writing a comment to remind others, or even our future selves, it's a common practice to start it with TODO:, for example:

TODO: check this web service return format
TODO: improve query performance

Service Studio should automatically promote these comments as reminders, so they would appear in the true change pane. That is what other IDEs already do (VisualStudio, Eclipse).
