Append only field

[Stuart Stevens]

I am interested in having an append only field.  When edited, the field would be blank and any new text would be added to the field with the date and user name.  The entries would have the newest first.  Perhaps the order would be an attribute.  A template can be used to define the separation of each entry.

This can be achieved partially by using on-change and a one line change to gnatsweb.pr.  Editpr users would have to clear the "Comments" field for every submission.  Is anybody working on an append only field?  Is there any interest in such a field?

field "Comments" {
    multitext {
        default ""
    }
    on-change "Comments!=\"\"" {
        set-field "Comments" {
"================================================\n%D  %s\n\n%s\n\n%s\n"
                "$CurrentDate" "$EditUserEmailAddr" "$NewValue" "$OldValue"

        }
    }
    on-change "Comments==\"\"" {
        set-field "Comments" {
            "%s" "$OldValue"
        }
    }
}
