Simple text field option

For a specific row I want to add some notes, more notes than the note column will take, can't use the discusssion option because I want to be able to edit these notes, don't want to attach a googledoc because it just takes too long and I want it integrated in a simple text format. 

 

So a small icon to the left that pops open a window and I can add some notes on the item.

 

Maybe there is a way to do this that I have not found yet, help.

 

Thanks

    You could try a Hyperlink to a google doc rather than an attachment. that would be quicker.

    You can actually edit a discussion. When you are looking at a discussion history, click the dropdown arrow to the right of the discussion and select "Edit discussion"

  • How long are the notes?

    Thanks Ben, found that out after I posted this. I still don't like the way you have to expand the discussion window to see the note, or that someone else can add more notes and yours move down the line. 

     

    I don't want to use Google Docs period and still think it would be nice to have a plain text field for some reference notes on a line. Not huge, maybe about twice as long as this post. List of contacts, references, project overview, sheet instructions etc.
