Column types

Description	This field type is used to operate with the comment widget for communicating with responsible users, callers, and followers. It is implemented as a text-area with a placeholder. Due to its features, the Journal Input field type cannot be read-only. By default, the Journal Input field is an empty string. When a comment is added, the field value saves the following data to the Activities Stream Fields (sys_activities_stream_field) table: ID of the commented record reference to the table containing this field reference to the journal input column record the comment value name of the user who left the comment field name. After the comment is saved, the field value becomes an empty string again. You cannot create, edit, or delete records in the Activities Stream Fields (sys_activities_stream_field) table. Only users with the admin role can read them.
