Is there a way to get a text field similar to comment like a notes field?

Question

I have a request to implement a free form text field that can have multiple updates and a user/date/time stamp with an audit trail

Yes the comments do this but they are not dedicated.  The requester wants a dedicated field.  Is there a 3rd party app that can do this?

Thanks - I very much appreciate it.

I'm going to be honest though - for me, having the library is very VERY helpful but the times I considered using ScriptRunner in the past I've more often than not had to find an alternative because I just was not able to get scripts to work.

I've looked into how to get started with Scriptrunner, but there's a whole lot more that I bargained for, like setting up a Dev environment and other things that all have their own individual learning curves that, for a non-coder, are not within my skill set.  Yes I'd love to learn it, but sometimes - most times - I need a solution I can install and configure via a GUI.

Thanks a lot.

You can find plenty of scripts on the library to get you started.

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for your reply - and also, on a side note, for all your videos.  I've watched more than a few of them looking for answers on various topics.

I like that idea - I don't know enough about Scriptrunner to do it myself, and I'm not sure if the organization I am trying to help has it, but knowing there is a possibility is extremely helpful.  Thanks!
