This is for general comments about a person in a program, a bit like a whiteboard that you can always see on top of the data entry form in Person Dashboard. This field is also limited to 255 characters, but we can extend it. We have a patientcomment object that is referenced in programinstance.

> Hi - just to echo on Marko's comment: PSI is also considering the use of a large, free text field, for doctor/ nurse to write free text observations that we don't need to quantify, but we want to capture, so DHIS can work as a light electronic health record. We will try Knut's suggestion on the mean time.

Most values are short numbers and using text as column type over varchar with fixed length implies a performance penalty. I am not sure how significant that overhead is with latest versions of postgresql/mysql. We could check it out. I guess you could do like Knut suggests for now and change the column type manually.
