Can I remove the “Sticky” from the comment object? I don’t want to allow any comment to be STICKY.

Thanks

I can’t seem to make this add “insert” a new row to SQL EXPRESS.  
It gives NO Errors just does not create a new record.  
I have tried to follow the video for using the comment panel

“”"  
`#MSSQL Server query`

`#We're converting the binary data into a VARBINARY datatype on this line, which is the prefered datatype for binary data in MSSQL.`

`query = "INSERT INTO Notes (note, whoid, tstamp, attachment, filename, sticky) VALUES (?, ?, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX),?), ?, ?)"`

`arguments` `=``[note, user, attachmentBytes, filename, sticky]`

`system.db.runPrepUpdate(query, arguments)`  
“”"

The `insertNote` Extension Function (really, all Extension Functions) send error messages to the console.

Are you seeing any activity in the console (Designer \> Tools menu at the top \> Console \>most recent messages are at the bottom)?

I finally got my comment panel working, I don’t know what was going on. I deleted my comment panel and placed another one added my query and insertnote ext function and everything now works.

Will do some more testing, I still wish I could get rid of the “Sticky” checkbox.

Thanks

Glad to hear it!

Regarding the Sticky checkbox, can’t think of a way to hack it, but this would make a good feature request: [https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/)
