In another thread, @zenofmud posted a change node with 9 rules.

Not unnaturally, the OP's response was "I'll have to try and work out why each rule is there"
So I suggest an option to add a comment to each rule in the change node for documenting each step.
To avoid using up more of the already crowded real estate, could comments "hide" behind a dropdown button like this?
