 @subsection How do make Audit-Trail append-only?  
   
 Mike Hoolehan wanted a "bugzilla-ish appending audit trail", i.e.,  
 Audit-Trail can not be changed arbitrarily, only appended.  
   
 He posted the following solution to the @email{help-gnats@@gnu.org}  
 mailing list:  
   
 First, set the Audit-Trail field to read-only.  Then add this:  
   
 @example  
 field "Add-To-Audit-Trail" @{  
    description "Add a log entry to Audit Trail"  
    multitext @{ default "\n" @}  
    on-change  @{  
         add-audit-trail  
         audit-trail-format @{  
         format "---- Comments by %s on %s ----\n %s\n\n" #whatever you like  
         fields @{ "$EditUserEmailAddr" "$CurrentDate" "$NewValue" @}  
         @}  
     @}  
     on-change @{  
         set-field "Add-To-Audit-Trail" @{ "\n" @}  
     @}  
 @}  
 @end example
