I don't believe there is such a feature. They just have blank subjects.

You could prepopulate it at the time of the first edit using one of the hooks (buildForm probably), or if you're also adding other type-specific functionality then you could use <custom_php_dir>/CRM/Case/Form/Activity/<type>.php

Hi Chris,

Was it a reason not to include it into the core? Seems it's generic enough to be able to have an optional <subject> on each activity in the timeline.

And because optional, wouldn't break anything.

I don't know… I just proposed a solution, not sure about what people thought of it. I also did this quite a while ago, so not sure if it worked well etc…

This totally works to give individual activities their own subjects:

- add <subject> and even <detail> tags to your xml into your Activity Set->Activity Types
- copy process.php to your custom php path
- modify code as follows

Add this around line 350 (my row numbers are different to those mentioned above):

    if (isset($activityTypeXML->subject)) {
      $subject = (string) $activityTypeXML->subject;
    }
    else {
      $subject = $activityTypeName;
    }

    if (isset($activityTypeXML->details)) {
      $details = (string) $activityTypeXML->details;
    }
    else {
      $details = '';
    }


Add this around 398

        'subject' => $subject ,
        'details' => $details ,
