Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
User @inguyen314 (and others) would like to be able to enter sensitive information such as usernames when filling out text-timeseries fields.

They can do this now, but it is public

Describe the solution you'd like
The idea is they can grab the user's name and if they submit information (such as a note) it will be linked to their name.

This could just be appended in the note (but I believe a description is available too?)

Describe alternatives you've considered
Store it into a blob/clob endpoint when those go private. (more queries)

Additional context
@inguyen314 is working on his internal data entry apps

Other interested parties?

Research direction

Start by tracing the text-timeseries entry points and the existing note or description handling described in the issue. Compare that with the blob/clob endpoint alternative, then clarify how names and submitted notes should be kept private and what API behavior will demonstrate completion; no specific files or tests are identified.
