Add changeset description to the popup

[DaveF63]

Hi
When checking recently edited items in my area I often want to know the reason for the edits. Could the changeset description be added to the popup?

To compensate so its size isn't increased the blank lines beneath 'Tag' & 'Meta' could be removed & the 'Way' font size could be reduced.

Good idea.

There's one complication, tough: In order to display changeset comments, one would need to fire up additional requests to the main OSM API (since the result from the Overpass API doesn't directly include that information). But it should certainly be doable.

PS: I'm not really concerned about the popup getting too long. ^-^

Should the Overpass API request have that information? Perhaps that can be added.

There's a (somewhat) related ticket on the Overpass API repository: drolbr/Overpass-API#189

Should the Overpass API request have that information? Perhaps that can be added.

Given the effort and complexity of adding changeset metadata to Overpass API, I don't expect this to happen anytime soon. That data is not available as part of the minutely diffs, and needs to be fetched from a different source, the data needs to be managed on disk, language extensions defined, implemented and tested.

Ah, ok.

The reason I suggested that was I wouldn't want the boxes to disappear off the visible window such as occurs on sites like Osmose.
