As I recall, in Classic there was the ability for a user to enter "notes" about the data entry experience. F5? F9? I forget the exact keystrokes. At any rate it was a place for user to write things like "the scribbles on the paper survey form were hard to decipher; I took my best shot" or "the power went out while I was doing this record"
I think you would have to add a text field big enough to take comments like this and put it at the bottom of the form. The upside is that the person doing data entry does not need to know the special key to open a note.
I see the checkbox option in Manager to "always show" the picklist for a particular variable during data entry. Can I leave that box unchecked yet still make it possible for a user to open the list at will, i.e. once in a while they forget what allowable values are?
Thanks,

Yes, I think so. Try it; they might show for some fields even if you don’t tick that box.
