Feature Request: Adding notes to backtest

Feature Request

While running multiple backtest, it's cumbersome to compare the backtest code and find the difference. I would like to suggest a feature which is not a replacement to current "compare" feature but an addition.

  1. User should be allowed to add "Notes" to the backtest. I personally think it will add value and save time. I don't have to compare the backtest code every-time if I can just read my notes and it's more valuable if I revisit the backtests after a gap. On the similar lines, ability to rename a backtest or give a short name to backtest will help as well.

  2. Also as a minor UI improvement, region around backtest checkbox should not be clickable. This causes problem when I try to compare backtests and mistakenly click a little outside the checkbox (it then routes me to backtest detail).

Thanks!!
