Hi, If you want to post a comment and instantly show it in the activity stream in UI Builder, here's a simple way to do it,

Requirements:

1. Compose – This is your Text Area where users type the comment.

2. Post Comment Button – Users click this to submit the comment.

3. Activity Stream – This is where you show the list of comments.

Steps:

1. Create a View Model Variable
   For example: commentText
   Bind your Text Area value to this variable.

2. Set Up a Data Resource
   Use a data resource (like sys_journal_field ) to store and show comments.

3. Configure the Post Comment Button
   Add an event to this button:

   • Create a new comment record using the value from commentText.

   • After posting, clear the input and refresh the data.

   Example:

$data.CommentTable.createRecord({
  element_id: '<record sys_id>',
  element: 'comments',
  value: viewModel.commentText
}).then(() => {
  viewModel.commentText = '';
  $data.CommentTable.reload();
});

     4. Show Comments in Activity Stream
         Use a Repeater to loop through CommentTable.records and display each comment.

That’s it! Now when someone types a comment and clicks the button, it gets saved and shows up right away in the activity stream.
