Looking to replicate the comments Panel functionality in Perspective. I really like Perspective for a front end, especially when it comes to building input screens for staff. Was wondering if I was missing something on a commenting standpoint. Backup plan right now is to build my own view with text entry and a table of comments from a DB cheers thanks! ---

Funny that this topic came up; I implemented a Comments Panel in one of my own projects and was pleased with it, so I was planning on putting it up on the Ignition Exchange (after some more polish and documentation). If you don’t mind waiting a few days, I can post here when it’s finished. 🙂 ---

Good news! It’s up on the Exchange now: > **[Ignition Exchange](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/1989/overview)** > > Discover, share, and download community made Ignition resources in collaboration with your organization or the Ignition community. I tried to leave detailed instructions. It’s a lot simpler if you don’t need file upload functionality. If you have any questions or feedback, I created a thread in the Ignition Exchange category of the forums [here.](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-comments-panel/32242) Sorry for the wait! I originally didn’t have file upload capabilities, and it took a long time to get that working. 😬 ---

Hi, Which version of Ignition does this require? ---

It was made in version 8.0.8, so it should work on that version or any later version. ---
