Require Task Transition Comments

Does anyone know if it is possible to make transition comments required? We are using workflow to route docs around a department for approval but we need to know if it was rejected or approved so I want to require the users to place comments when transitioning tasks.

You could hack into the task_transition.html file and add some java script to ensure the comment field isn't empty on the submit of the html form.

Placing comments isn't the only way of knowing if it was rejected or approved. The action will determine which task it goes to next. So there could be a an external task that both outcomes goes to, which adds the result into the next tasks description and then "decides" whihc task to go to next.

Also, you can parse through the current details of the workflow.
