Created and refactored for a new content field in notifications content type, to hold just the comment text for easier updates of the notifs

Dumped regex (yet again), went with creating a new field for commentText in my notifications, and went on to refactor the notifs POST requests going out. A delicate operation, lots of moving parts, had to be done on high alert (coffee!). Managed to do so, but uncovered an unexpected difficulty - edit/delete of older comments (where this new content field = NULL) won't work, or will be problematic to implement.

Should I care? I doubt being able to edit/delete old comments will be a common use case... should this be a tech debt to sweep under the carpet? πŸ˜
