You can add it without any problems, but when you upgrade to the next version (5.0.0) you may run into problems, which could be unpleasant. > > > I am not too keen on adding additional user fields as you suggest for the > > same reasons that others have already expressed. > > Given my additional information & thoughts, would you be willing to add a > BOOL or timestamp called Checked, Reviewed or something similar, as well? I've talked to the developer working on our next database upgrade, which coincidentally we will be committing tonight. It is very late in the development process to be adding a new field this time around. The changes that we are committing tonight have been tested for several months now. That said, he is interested in this feature, so without any guarantees, I suspect it will make it in (a BOOL named Reviewed). Another way to resolve your problem would be to insert a new record to the log. There is no problems with a user adding additional records to the database Log table, and since the main information is a TEXT field, you can add anything you want.
