Notes Element

[keith21]

Hi
Me again. I just wanted to find out if it is possible to add notes once the form is loaded rather than save and add notes.

Not sure what you mean?

Notes are added using an AJAX call, independent of the form submission. So you don't have to save the form for the notes to be added.

Hi Hugh
what I need is basically when you add a new record but have not saved it yet, is it possible to add notes then. It says this when the form is loaded "
If this form is new, you can submit notes only after you have submitted form data".

I need to add notes before I submit the form?

Thanks
Keith

Nope, can't do that, because the notes are stored in a separate table, with an FK (foreign key) that points to the PK (primary key, or 'row id') of the row in the main table they belong to. And of course before you save the new form, it doesn't exist as a row in the main table, so the note's FK has nothing to point to.
