Where are the comments ( work notes & additional comments ) stored in ?
after some research i found this table sys_journal_field, but this table acts more like a history of the comments so you can't make a record in it and have it pop up on the request's additional comments or work notes
is their a table where a record in it is a direct reference to the comments (meaning if you edit/insert the record in the table it will be edited/inserted on the request's comments).
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
1) Journal entries are captured in sys_journal_field
2) History activity are captured in various tables like:
sys_history_set
sys_history_line
refer link to: Delete or Update Activity log and Journal Field Entries

Hi,
sys_journal_field stores the individual journal entry made for that field
Example: incident + work notes might have multiple entries in this table based on when work notes was updated
No other table which stores the journal entry info
Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

What if you want to make the[additional comments] and [work notes] use rich text? How does this impact the journal table?
