At any given point in time, you may be tracking multiple stocks for different reasons. Even if you add the stocks on your marketwatch, it’s hard to remember all the reasons why you added them. Now, you can easily add a quick note about why you are interested in a stock right in your marketwatch.

The notes added to an instrument on the marketwatch are only valid for that marketwatch and will not appear under the same instrument in other marketwatches.
I have added a stock in watchlist 1. Added some notes. Later, I add the same stock in some other watchlist, the notes content entered in watchlist 1 is not shown here.
If I delete the stock from the watchlist either knowingly/accidentally, and add it again, the notes contents are gone.
The notes content are associated with the watch list and not the stock, which is a fundamental flaw.
So, the notes should be persistent irrespective of which watchlist it is present in and even after re-adding the stock in the watchlist.
Please change it or provide a preference to the user to either be associated with the watchlist or stock.
If there is something you want to do specific to watchlist, provide a notes section for the watchlist. It does not make any sense to attach the notes of a stock to a watchlist.
As someone has said here the notes added should persist across the watchlist for the same stock/instrument. This is very important because a user like me has to rearrange watchlist items all the time to suit my needs and persistent notes become very important
Notes should NOT persist beyond the watchlist it is written for.
I have standardized watchlists, and I usually filter stock from them and put it in a seperate watchlist with notes added.
Notes persisting across all watchlists is a bad idea. Zerodha can instead consider colour coding stocks with colour filters, recently introduced by Dhan.
Notes functionality is perfect and should stay as is.
