Create a Add-Only Comment field in a SharePoint custom list

Question

I am relatively new to SharePoint, working with WSS SharePoint 2.0. The Issues list template contains an add-only comment column. The great thing about this comment column for apps only is to save the history of comments entered each time it is saved, and clears the comment field the next time you edit an item.

I would like to add this column to my own list. However, when I add a new column, it does not give me the opportunity to add a column of this type - it gives only options for one or more lines of text. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

You can create a column to be added only by selecting the Multiple Lines of Text option and selecting Add Changes to Existing Text. I believe this applies only to lists, not document libraries. Other types of lists may also limit this.

Answer 2

if you are using SharePoint 2007, in the list / library settings, click Add from existing site columns. In the Base Columns section, only comments should be added. In order for "tracking" to work, Versioning must be enabled for this list / library.

Answer 3

Not having only the append field in the document library, I felt very sad. But this template pleases me again: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=02C4D1B4-7D53-4B72-B577-3DA23F86EC17&displaylang=en

This is a document library and viewing template and allows each document to have a Discuss button and an appropriate discussion topic.
