Re: Journaling
Holy crap! That was easy. A million thanks! In my world the term 'logging' represents different functionality, so I didn't even consider that as an option. But now I know. Learning every day! Thank you all!!!!

Journaling
I have a need to 'journal' within a record. Within a record there is a <journal entry> field which always defaults on display to blank (ready for a new journal entry by a user). A user places some text in the <journal entry> field, then clicks save. The system takes the journal entry, stamps it with a date and the users name, and appends it to the <journal> field. Then clears out the entry. The journal field is a read only text field with the latest entry at the top. Much like an email chain, looking like this: Mary Smith on 1/4/2024: Yes John Smith on 1/2/2024: Con you get me the report? I got it working 90% using pipelines. But I have two issues: I click save and the record is not refreshed, so I have to refresh it manually, that is a bad user experience, I'd like some advice on if I can use a pipeline to force a refresh/redraw, and 2), the system enters a blank line after every update. I am using {{CLEAR}} to clear the journal entry field, which works great, but after adding that expression a blank line always appears in the journal. If I remove that expression, the blank line goes away but the journal entry field remains populated. any advice is greatly appreciated.

advanced query in a pipeline
Help! I have a pipeline that runs great as long as I don't put in an advanced query. If I put that in, no matter what field I reference or syntax I use, the pipeline bombs because of the advanced query. Her's the syntax I am using: I am thinking this says Look in Field ID 12, and if that is greater than 0, select the record. Again, it works fine with no value in there, but any value seems to break things. Thoughts? ------------------------------ Don Strickland ------------------------------
