Comment 18 for bug 1297909

This is probably yet another aspect worthy of another bug (if one doesn't already exist), but let me add my two cents as well. In my opinion, the one good (and bad) thing about notes is that you can have any number of them for ad-hoc data. For data you enter regularly, I would love to see dedicated fields or use of stat cats. Right now, stat cats for users allow free-form text entry, and stat cats for items do not. What I would want to see is a toggle in the stat cat editor that allows you enable or disable free-form text entry for any given stat cat. Does that sound useful? It still couldn't completely replace notes, because again, you can repeat notes, and there may be a use case for that, even if it's the same type of note being repeated (e.g. multiple donors?) Trying that with stat cats could get klunky quick.
