Custom Journal field with post

[sgmartin]

I'm trying to add a custom Journal Input field that works just like Work Note, with the Post button and the Activities below.

I followed this link:

Add a work notes journal field (with post button) to form

but after creating the new field and adding it to the form just like it says, I don't get the Post button or the activities.  In that link it's almost like he's saying "magic happens here and you should see the button"

I have created the custom Journal Input and put it by itself in it's own tab on the form. The only thing I see is the field.

Don't think this is working since my custom Journal Input field is on the incident table.  There already exists an entry glide.ui.incident_activity.fields System Property. And if I add my new custom field to the list in that entry, my new field disappears from the form.

I did have some luck adding my new Custom Journal Field to the Notes tab and then adding it to the end of the Value field in glide.ui.incident_activity.fields.  Works great there.  Now I just have to see if this is acceptable to the client.  In the end I would like to have it in it's own tab, a field by itself with a Post button and the activities listed below it.

Does it matter that I'm not in a Scoped Application?
