add "Note to Self" was created by Richard Horobin
Dear Christopher,
Not a problem, just a suggestion.
I have recently started using Rapid Contact Ex. I've used many other extensions, and I think you've produced a good one, with a very good user interface. I particularly like the Preview window that runs while I'm creating the fields.
Since that feature is so good, I suggest something similar, called "Note to Self". This would be a text area that would let me describe why I've done something in the field definition that I'm currently editing.
Scenario:
On Day 1, I created a field called joining-household-number and made it a number.
On Day 2, I learnt about Field Groups, with dropdown values, but I was a bit confused.
On Day 3, I learnt more about Field Groups, and now I'd like to leave a note next to my new field that reminds me about the previous two days. I also want to explain to myself how the new field works.

Hello Richard and thank you for posting!
That's a very nice idea, and I like how you describe your experience with Rapid Contact Ex. It really helps me see a first-user's viewpoint.
The "Note to self" sounds like a very good idea. Could you possibly use the "Notes" field inside each field? It's not shown anywhere on the front-end, its sole purpose is for notes in the administrator, so I think you can use it.
Let me know!
Thanks again.

Yes, I'd love to use the "Notes" field. But it's not visible in Joomla! 3x versions. Is it visible in J4?

Hi Richard! I just released version 2.4.794, which includes a Notes field for the back-end.
Let me know if you need any further assistance!
