SharePoint - multiple time and user stamped comments per list row and friendly named lookups

I suspect these are some of the limiations of SharePoint.

Does anything in the SharePoint UI allow for a column to be added to a list that enab开发者_开发问答le users to enter multiple time and user stamped entries to a single custom list row? For example like a comment column?

And on the subject of connecting two list to each other. Ideally, we would connect (lookup) two lists by the list ID, having one list look up to another by a friendly name, but then store the list id. This does not seeam like it's availble in sharePoint.. is it?

Thanks.

SharePoint List Superpowers (see Issue List – Comments History)

To setup this style of comments you need to

• Turn on versioning on the list Settings > List Settings > Versioning

• Change (or add a new) Multiple Lines of Text field and set Append Changes to Existing Text

The Comments field is the only field I'm aware of that has the append behavior. Of course, version control gives you some visibility to changes on any field type.

In SharePoint 2007, when you add a lookup, the list actually does keep track of the lookup ID internally, despite what it presents. For example, if you look up a title, you'll find that the raw value stored in the list is a composition of the lookup item ID and the title. When you link to your list in access, list tables are still joined by IDs rather than the friendly text.
