Pushed a new release up. This one should work better for as controller type for a zigbee sensor should be ZB, and the mesh device should be LNK (ZW - zwave for those keeping score).
v1.0.2 - Change to look at controllerType for mesh determination

That appears to have done it, Thanks.

So should it work now if it is a mesh(ed)? device?
Doesn't lift the mesh restriction, just more accurately identifies.
I thought I had been doing this, but will verify upon next note entry.
Ok I thought that is what you were saying, but wanted to be sure.
So I guess it will do the job for you? 
Put the code out at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thebearmay/hubitat/main/apps/devDataDisp.groovy
so that I don't lose it.

Ah...um....yes! 
I think it deserves it's own release thread...as long as you're willing to deal w/people endlessly asking you to update and modify it, something I would never do.
But now I have to tell Bill Gates to cool it on the coding. That guy, every time I ask him for a small favor he's so helpful.

Now, if you just add it to HPM....

Added to HPM, and will give it its own release thread shortly.
Edit: Release thread at:
[Release] Device Data Item Display
(I "borrowed" @danabw's screen shots.)

Found an issue, or misunderstanding by me. After successfully adding or updating any number of devices, the message Update Successful appears. Fine. Click Done, go back into app and the Update Successful notice is still there. Shouldn't it be reset to blank, or void or something?
Right now it is set to show the result of the last note add/update attempt.
I am having an issue with the latest release. After installing, I can enter something in the Custom Note Text field. However, after I enter anything in the Custom Note Name field and it loses focus, I get the following error:
The logs show this:
I have installed/uninstalled manually and using HPM. Same result.

Is this v1.0.3? Try doing a repair, looks like I typo'ed something when I did the promote to github.

I just tried to add some notes and had same issue as @spalexander68. Doing the repair has seemed to fix the issue for me.

Yes, it was 1.0.3. But a HPM repair fixed the issue it would seem.

Question: I'm somewhat confused.
I want to open up a new field for a particular device, so as to document it.
I used the app, and is is what I got:
How do I get a new field opened up on the device page, so I can add some documentation to it?
You add the name and the contents in the app and it then appears on the device page. You can't enter anything directly on the device page.

Just looking for ways to cause trouble until the next beta build drops...
Was thinking that the names of the apps could be aligned (I sort of think of them as buddies like Turner and Hooch, or The Captain and Tenille) w/more consistent names, by using "Data" in each app:
- Custom Device Data
- Device Data Display
Getting deeper into the rabbit hole, another type of change would clearly communicate the "read" vs. "write" capabilities of the apps, and would also (bonus!!) allow them to sit next to each other in the app list (and they have mentioned that they feel a bit lonely sitting next to other bigger apps that sometimes aren't so friendly):
- Device Data Editor
- Device Data Display
Using "Data" consistently aligns the apps w/each other, and also w/the Data section on the Device pages.
But really this is just about 1) Me having a little free time on my hands, and 2) My app naming OCD, which was legendary at the company I used to work at, and can be safely ignored as long as you don't have to live w/me.
Off now to talk to Kevin Feige about a couple of the upcoming MCU releases where I have some very specific suggestions about the titles...
