Notes

This can be used to add an audit to a Multi-line entry field, as HTML. To do so:
1. Add a Multi-Line Entry field, and hide on all occasions (e.g. add a rule to "Show" if "Window height in pixels" "Has no value"). Call it "F_AuditText".
2. Add an HTML field below, calling it "F_HTMLAudit".
3. In the page's onShow event, use: page.F_HTMLAudit.setContent(BO.F_AuditText.getValue(). This takes the HTML values stored in "F_AuditText" and renders the HTML on the page, obviously read-only.
4. In your submit buttons or wherever else you want to add to the audit, call:
BO.F_AuditText.setValue(app.getSharedData().addAudit('Submitted') + BO.F_AuditText.getValue()
This gets an audit message "Submitted" and prepends it to the existing audit messages. The audit messages appear most recent first.

app.getSharedData().getNowIsoTime = function() {
  var now = new Date();
  var iso = now.toISOString().split('.')[0];
  return iso.replace('T',' ');
}

app.getSharedData().addAudit = function(msg) {
  return '<p>' + app.getSharedData().getNewIsoTime() + ' - '+ app.getCurrentUser() + ': ' + msg + '</p>';
}
