I am trying to figure out the best way to record comments/questions from user and anonymous users. Right now I have a 'Questions or Comments' field under 'constituent info.' The problem with this is that it does not compile the comments. So when a user makes multiple comments in different forms it overwrites the original comment in their profile. Obviously, I could have it create a new profile but then I would have the same problem in merging.

I think the best way to do this would record 'Questions/Comments' in 'Activities' or 'Notes' so that their comments are compiled and order chronologically. However, I don't know if this is possible through civi forms.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

neither actvities nor notes nor multi-record custom fields are exposed to the profile. The easiest way might be to use the form hooks and add the note via the postProcess hook

yes, i've used this a fair amount in the school module. if you are familiar with php/mysql it should not be too hard
