Comments Editor
The Comments Editor shows the item’s comments text in a much larger workspace.
Type and arrange any plain text information you like, typically relating to the parent item.
Comments text for any single item is limited to a total length of 2222 characters. For your convenience the item name and total running length of the comments text is displayed in the title bar.
Mini-Forms
You can optionally insert mini-forms anywhere in your comments text. They are blocks of plain text designed to look like forms that can standardize data entry across multiple items; for example items for several credit cards.
You can add your own mini-form files by saving them to the …Courer\usr\data\miniforms folder. New mini-form filenames must end in “.txt” and contain only unformatted plain text. New Courier releases will overwrite the four default miniforms, so never edit these – make a copy to edit instead.
Courier ships with four default mini-form files:
- 2factorAuth – template for capturing 2-factor authentication information
- creditCard – template for capturing credit card information
- driversLicense – template for capturing drivers license information
- securityQuestions – template for capturing security question information
The default credit card mini-form is shown above.
