Log activity without completing task

This is my second time commenting on this and I really wish something could be done about this. I just attempted to add an informational Note to a Company record that has 1 pending task and cannot add the Note without completing the task. Initially I thought this was because the task was assigned to me, so I reassigned it to the correct employee and still cannot add a Note without completing a task systematically for my co-worker. This is completely ineffective, PLEASE fix this!
