Hi @morevishal ,

Recommend mimicking what is done for the note field in the prescription:

> <https://github.com/openemr/openemr/blob/master/templates/prescription/general_edit.html#L234>

  

> <https://github.com/openemr/openemr/blob/master/controllers/C_Prescription.class.php#L535-L538>

  

> <https://github.com/openemr/openemr/blob/master/sql/database.sql#L5754>

also search for ‘note’ here:
