I have a "Note" column that is of the "Multiline" type. Users can add notes to a list item, and all notes are stored in the same field, separated by a new line.

The code of "Add Note" :

Patch(datasource,Gallery.Selected,{notes:DataCardValue.Value& Char(13)});

The notes are saved as following:

userName1 (date): notes

userName2 (date): notes

userName3 (date): notes

In a new screen, I want to display all of the information of the selected item in "Display Form," but "Notes" are not displayed, simply an empty text field.

I tried two methods in "Notes" DataCardVlaue, but neither worked.

ThisItem.notes 
or
Parent.Default

How Can I show the "Notes" contents in the text box including (username, date and notes).

Hi @Al_Rawan ,

Could you please test you app with a Label out of the edit form and set Default to DataCardValue.Value that you mentioned in your post?

If it is a multiline text column, the default/auto generated control should be a Text Input then you should retrieve the texts using DataCardValue.Text

Hope this helps.
