Hi, if you are using javascript in custom buttons, you should be able to include comments. I haven't tried though.

You can use comments in forumula fields as well, try enclosing them in /* */  . Here is an old idea that was already delivered a while ago  : https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000BpIWAA0


ps: If this resolves your query, please mark this post as resolved so that others can benefit from the solved questions.

I am aware of the JavaScript comment.  Is there any way to do it if the Behavior is not "Execute Javascript"? (I have long URLs with lots of cryptic field IDs).  Thanks for the hint about formula and validation fields.
