Keep track of changes to your app with comments in field settings
A new Comments tab appears in field settings. App builders can now add free-form, plain text comments (up to 500 characters in length) as notes to each field. Adding these comments to each field can let app builders document or notate the purpose of some or all fields.
You can of course use these new comments to hold JavaScript or JSON and the values will show up in API calls such as API_GetSchema and API_GetFieldProperties in the XML response within the <comment> tag. Now you have 500 characters of user defined storage associated with every field in your applications! Used in conjunction with a Service Worker (or BOL) you could easily customize the form's operation in some way and be able to save the memory associated with the customization in the field itself. Excellent addition QuickBase.
