I am creating a trouble log window for users to add notes of issues they may have using the comments panel and I was wondering if there is a way that you can do a print screen/copy screen and paste the image to the associated note so that I may pull up the note later and see the image the user was seeing?

You can do this by using the built-in “attach a file” function when adding a new note in the comments panel. Just make sure that your database has a column of datatype BLOB in order to handle attachments. For more information about the comments panel check out this link:
