Wants to save multiple comments

[MohammadAshraf]

Before you read anything below I’m very new to Appsheet & the community.
I’m creating an account receivable app. in which the clients have to update multiple comments. on a single row.
I trying to do it with but failing, could anyone guide me on this

Hi, are you able to give more details about your issue? Client have to update multiple comments in what way? Do you want to update the comment itself or add a comment for that field?

[MohammadAshraf]

For e.g. on a particular row, which consists of data related to the client, he gives an update to me about payment, I want to record that update as a comment (With timestamp if possible)
Now after a few days, I call the client again for the update on the same data row, I do not want to replace the comment, I want both the comments to exists, whenever I want to view.

Okay thanks. You have two options…
#1 - Add new comment column for the 2nd comment
#2 - Create a Child table for comments and then you can have as many comments as you want.
Please check this article that describes how the Related table structure works.

References Between Tables

Learn about references, when to create them, and how to use them so your data makes sense.
