Can we get "SC004 – Found TODO comment" to find items more often?

I was recently writing code and had multiple todos in an area. I did what I would normally do in this case:

/*

Todo

1. Blah

2. Blah

3. Blah

*/

I expected this to be picked up by "SC004 – Found TODO comment" but it was not.

I did some research and it feels like the text needs to be a little to specific in order for it to be found currently

-- ToDo blah blah blah

^ Works

-- checks todo blah blah blah

^ Does not work

-- ToDo

^ Does not work

/*

ToDo

^ Does not work

Blah

blah

*/

/*

-- ToDo

^ Does not work

Blah

blah

*/

/*

-- ToDo blah

^ Works

Blah

blah

*/

Can we get this expanded a little bit to find any time the word ToDo is found in a comment?

Not sure if this is a bug or if it is something that should go in UserVoice

Hi @natevdhNHA

Thanks for your post.

Yes, this is something you could put on the SQL Prompt Uservoice page below for potential future implementation.
