Hi @catalinp I believe you can achieve this functionality by following below mention steps: 
 1. Capture notes in activity class parameter and save it into process variable, so that users can atleast save the form and the data will be captured in activity class parameter 
 2. Configure expression based timer, if the ac!note is empty then do not enable exception flow else move it to next exception path, now add your db node to persist this data into DB 
 3. Alternatively, if you don't want to go for conditional based timer then, better have a gateway in between user input and db node of exception flow and check if pv!note is empty then reassign the task to the Same user so that user should not miss the task unless he do not input the note and save it. 
 Hope this will help you
