Comments.Text: I agree with Graham. It is these small items that cost more for clients to use CiviCRM as they have to pay us to make content changes directly to the database. I have asked for an estimate to determine funding.

  It seems from this [forum post](https://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=23834.15) that the ability to edit the subject of a CiviCase has not been implemented, and that its implementation should be done by creating a new core/case Activity Type for 'Change Case Subject' so that any change was also tracked on the Case.
