Description

Check for duplicates
  • I've checked for duplicate issues by using the search function of the issue tracker
Is your feature request related to a problem?

I'd like to be able to make notes on items for potential crafting suggestions, item alternatives, etc. It seems like sometimes adding ~messages to items gets deleted when adding them in, and I feel like this is a better solution than fixing that. A notes page in the bottom right of the equipment screen would work as well.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding item notes would be nice.
Adding a notes page to the item page would also be a potential solution.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'm currently adding ~lines in, but adding a link to a website crashes the tool entirely. Also, some ~lines were deleted and had to be re-written.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the item page and equipment screen, then trace how existing ~lines are stored and rendered. Define where notes should live and how they persist, including the reported behavior when links are added; done means item notes can be added, retained, and viewed without crashing.
