Comments section in Collections -> Runs

I am currently testing out all of the postman cli features and i came across the “comments” tab in the runs stored for each collection. My collection has a few different folders and each folder is a test scenario. When i run a folder via postman cli, run is successfully stored in runs section, but i can not differentiate one scenario from another unless I click on run details. I have noticed that there is a comments section and i was asking myself if there is a way to write a test name in that so the tests are immediately differentiable. I searched around the web but couldn’t find any useful info about this topic. If this is not the way to do, does anyone have another solution to this problem?

Click View Report then Select Comments icon Comments in the right sidebar and enter your comment

Thank you for your reply, I didnt even see the comments icon. Now my question is → If i start a test through postman cli, is there a way to create a name for a run. Lets say i am running Folder1 from Collection A and that run shows up in “Runs” tab. Is there a way to name a run directly through postman cli to lets say “Collection A - Folder1”. It could be useful because then i dont even need to click on more details, i can immediately see which test suite finished successfully

The comment column allows you to leave comments about a particular Collection run in the UI, it’s something that is done after the run, rather than before it. You can suggest changes or improvements or tag a teammate to take a look at the run, etc.

If the individual Collection Run has any comments, you will see a clickable icon and a number showing how many comments have been made.

If you select a Collection Run, there is a Comments option in the right side menu, adding collection here will populate the data in the Comments column on the Runs list.

Thank you for all your quick replies, my next question is if there is a possibility to give each run dynamic name when running through postman cli so they can be immediately differentiated.
Here is a quick explanation of what i want shown with orange rectangles. Just some way i can name each run through postmancli

Postman CLI does not support dynamically renaming the run title that appears in the Postman cloud runner history. The run name shown in the UI is derived from the collection or monitor name, and there is no CLI flag to override it.

If you need visually differentiated runs in the UI, you must either use separate collection copies with different names, or use separate monitors with different names. For full automation with dynamic run names and reports, Newman provides better support.
