You can use a formula like this in your Submit or Save button whenever you would like to add comments:
tNewComment := @Prompt([
OkCancelEdit]; "Comments";
"Please enter your
comments:"; "");
FIELD Comments := @If(Comments =
""; tNewComment; Comments : tNewComment);
If you would like to include the date, time and the user name with each comment, you can use this version of the formula:
tUserAndDate := @Text(@Now) + " "
+ @Name([CN]; @UserName) + ": ";
tNewComment := tUserAndDate + @Prompt
([OkCancelEdit]; "Comments";
"Please enter your comments:"; "");
FIELD Comments := @If(Comments = "";
tNewComment; Comments : tNewComment);
For either of these to work, you will need to create a multi-valued Text field named Comments. Make it a computed field with Comments as the value. Set it to display separate values with New Line.
