Correct English in "change message" pop-ups

Description
The use of English language is not clear / precise / appropriate leading to potential confusion amongst users regarding the use and configuration of 'change messages'.
For example the default text to display known as "explanation to display" is:
"Please enter a message explaining the reason for this change"
Better:
"Please enter a reason explaining this change"
Also 'explanation to display' may well be better expressed as 'help text'.
Thus if 'messages' becomes 'reasons' then one would perhaps better say 'enable change audit|control' rather than 'enable change messages'.
This impacts all text referring to change messages.
- Status changed from New to Discussion
- Assignee changed from Jonathan CLARKE to François ARMAND
It seems to me that there are two issues here, given the impact and priorities:
- The wording for the default text to display known as "explanation to display" that could be improved to be more clear / precise / appropriate. Let's use Ed's suggestion, "Please enter a reason explaining this change"
- The name of the "change message" feature itself. I'm not sure what it should be renamed to, yet.
I think that 1 can be considered a bug fix and changed ASAP in all applicable versions.
I think that 2 is more impacting and should be a user story for a new release (2.9?).
François, can you create the corresponding tickets and assign work please?
- Subject changed from Change messages to Change the explanation message in "change message" pop-ups
- Status changed from Discussion to 8
- Assignee changed from François ARMAND to Vincent MEMBRÉ
- Priority changed from N/A to 3
- Target version changed from Ideas (not version specific) to 2.4.12
The new feature is #4153.
This ticket will track the first (wording of explanation message): change then explanation message:
"Please enter a message explaining the reason for this change"
To:
"Please enter a reason explaining this change"
- Status changed from 8 to Pending technical review
- Assignee changed from Vincent MEMBRÉ to François ARMAND
- Pull Request set to https://github.com/Normation/rudder/pull/369
