Comment icon is missing in Executions list of a job in AWI

Issue/Introduction

When a job is run that calls for a child task to add a comment to the parent task, the comment icon does not appear in the Executions list.

The Executions view does not show a 'Comment'-Icon while the comment has been set and can be displayed.
This happens when the comment has been set using the script-command :ADD_COMMENT.

 

Reproduction:

Create:

A SCRI.PARENT with one line:

:set &runid# = ACTIVATE_UC_OBJECT(SCRI.CHILD,wait)

A SCRI.CHILD with two lines:

:RSET &PNUM# = SYS_ACT_PARENT_NR('ACT')
:ADD_COMMENT &PNUM#, 'My Test-Comment'

Start 'SCRI.PARENT' and check the executions of 'SCRI.32951601.PARENT'

The Comment icon is not displayed, but you can see the comment on right-click and 'Comments'

It doesn't matter if SCRI.PARENT has been launched manually or by a JSCH.

Note that in the JSCH the Comment-icon is visible!
