# The Comments field

The `Comments` field supplies the comments that appear at the top of the `p4 job` form. Because `p4 job` does not automatically tell your users the valid values of `select` fields, which fields are required, and so on, your comments must tell your users everything they need to know about each field.

Each line of the `Comments` field must be indented by at least one tab stop from the left margin, and must begin with the comment character `#`.

The comments for the default `p4 job` template appear as:

    Comments:
          # A Perforce Job Specification.
          # Job: The job name. 'new' generates a sequenced job number.
          # Status: Either 'open', 'closed', or 'suspended'. Can be changed
          # User: The user who created the job. Can be changed.
          # Date: The date this specification was last modified.
          # Description: Comments about the job. Required.

These fields are also used by P4V, the P4 Visual Client (P4V), to display tooltips.
