The user would essentially add comments and make modifications before escalating, which would be persisted The alert which is pushed onto the queue should be the current alert state, i.e. with all those modifications. This was done elsewhere (sorry, can't remember the ticket number). So the alert data being pushed should come off the cluster side, and it should have all the content already sent from the client by a separate process. I think that should achieve pretty much what you're talking about @ottobackwards.
