Display a notes field across multiple views

I would like to have a “notes” field that can be viewed and edited by multiple users. For example I have a student that could enter text in this column, me the instructor can view the text as well as adding to it. The student’s parents could also view the notes data and update.

I need these notes to show up on multiple tabs in glide so I have created a glide table called “notes”. I am able to add this collection on tabs and I can click into the list to see the details screen which displays the text BUT

I want to place a notes component on the page directly so I don’t have to click into the collection to view/edit the text.

I’ve created single relations and lookup columns to the text and can see the text in the data editor but when I add the lookup to the layout its always blank.

Ideas? thanks

Use a custom collection to wrap your notes components.

this is a technique that has eluded me to date.

I am able to now display the note text on the page. I don’ believe its possible to place an editable rich text component on the page.
I am supported text edit by displaying a details page with a rich text component

Is that the way to do this in glide as opposed to embedded an editable text editor on the parent page?

This component is very interesting. On one hand, it functions as a container, and on the other hand, as a collection that can cross over between tables.

A collection whose elements and display you can customize. It’s a “custom collection”.
