Append values to Text Area

Append values to Text Area

I have an application with say 2 fields:

Single Line Text: Name
Multiline Text: Notes

Here is a simple task.

I update the Name and press submit.

I need the notes field to be updated with:

Name updated by <zohouser> on<date>

And if I again update the name

it should append another line

That way I have a simple history of changes. Ofcourse even better could be if it had values.

So my Notes field will look like this:

Name updated from AURN to ARUN by user John on OCT 3, 2008, 3:00 PM


Name updated from ARUN to AROON by user Dave on OCT 30, 2008, 4:00 PM

and so on whenever the Name field is updated.


Also add something like this to your FAQ as it is a standard feature when updating records.

Keep up the good work.
