Enter text on form or single record in view mode?

Basically I'm just wanting to have a quicknote box on projects, services tickets etc where if the users are viewing a record they can type in a note, hit a button, and add the note as a child record. ...

Hi Brandon, not sure if this helps, but if you already have a notes table, you can create the relationship and have an empty editable table on the parent form. On the Parent Record, input your report, and set the checkbox to Editable. This will display a Grid Edit report that can easily be updated without much work. Good Luck!

Thanks Ursula.  It's not quite the look I'm looking for but will work to accomplish the objective for now.

    You can make a button that opens a dialog box to capture to notes and use the API to add notes to the child table.

    Here are some dialog box examples from Dan
    How To Dialog?

      That will get me close enough and help with a number of other things.  Thanks Everett!!
