+This is an Async Update Business rule written on the Requested Item table.
+This code works as a comment synchronization mechanism.
+
+What the code does:
+-Comment is added to the parent record(which in this case is a Requested Item)
+-Creates an HTML link to the parent record using its number.
+-Queries and finds all active SCTASKs associated with the Reuqested item.
+-Loops through each SCTASK, adds the copied comment along with a link to the Requested Item.
+
+Let's explain with an example:
+
+RITM: RITM001001
+Task 1: SCTASK001001
+Task 2: SCTASK001002
+-User adds new comment into the RITM: 'This is a test comment.'
+-Record link is created and stored inside a clickable RITM number.
+-The RITM comment is updated on both the SCTASKs with the comment looking like:
+
+    Updated comments on: [RITM001001]
+    This is a test comment.
