There is not going to be a native way to do this and all non-native ways are not supported. If they allowed you to edit things in View mode I would submit that as a bug.
What you linked is from someone that was very heavily into JavaScript. That is 100% a JavaScript solution that may or may not currently work after the changes that happened. If you have arrived on that page then you should have gotten there from their main app. In their main app they have a list of everything like this they have ever posted and I'm sure it is detailed in there. Again, it may not work at this time though.
Here you go: https://haversineconsulting.quickbase.com/db/bgcwm2m4g?a=dr&r=ts&rl=kfn

Subject: How can I make a field editable every time a record is opened, even in view mode?
As the title says, I would like to make a text box (preferably multi line) that is editable in view mode. I can't seem to find any properties that specifically allow for this.
I know it is possible because this person did it, but I'm not sure how to recreate it

Thank you for the input everyone, I had suspected some kind of javascript trickery was happening, but I wasn't sure if it was recreatable using the formula field or not.
My use case is that I would like for users to be able to submit a Approval Entry in Quickbase, but then not able to change their entries after submission outside of a few boxes that I want to host comments in. Would it better to simply lock write permissions after submission?
