It's by design. Because notes are created using AJAX calls to the server from the form, ie. they happen as the user adds the note, not when the form is submitted (when the rest of the form data is processed), we need to know the row id (PK) of the form's record, to insert into that 'foreign_key' (FK) field in the notes table, so we know which form row the note belongs to. A new form doesn't have a row id until after it has been submitted. So you can only add notes to rows you are editing, where the row id is known.
