Change Management - Status Change Comment Box

It appears in some of the forum links that this had a issue ID of  SDF-57122

However, when I search the issues it doesnt exist.  

I'm guessing it was implemented, did it break, or am I not finding how to turn this off?  When I edit the template, I do not see anyway to turn this off (the field has mandatory, but hovering over doesn't give the pencil like it does other fields)
