MMEX Discussion Forum

Hi, I've recently transferred my data from proprietary software to MMEX, which I, due to its openness, prefer pretty much. However, I noticed there's no time field. I use accounting software with timestamp included, so I can correctly view purchased items/goods/services that were purchased/selled chronological during any given day/month... Also, separate short notes field would be very useful. I hope those two fields could be much of use for others too?

There is a "Notes" field associated with every transaction that you can update.

Every transaction "Last Updated" field has a timestamp in it though you cannot update that field it directly.

Yes, I know there's notes field. But, often it's useful to have short note field like short description and larger like normal notes.
Regarding timestamp, If it's visible and possible to edit it's usable, otherwise not so much.

I do not know what the size limit is of the "Notes" field but it is very large, large enough to put several paragraphs of text in it. That said one could use that first paragraph for a short note then enter a new line (and optionally another divider such as line of dashes or pound signs) and begin a second paragraph for your longer note(s).

One can create a custom field to use as a user editable timestamp.

There are all sorts of business compliance and ethical reasons that should preclude you from altering a time stamp on a transaction such as an entry on business ledger or contract. But a user editable timestamp that is identifiable as such should be OK for personal records.

Please I need the editable timestamp for each transaction also.
