Power Automate to Get Appended Comments from SharePoint List and Insert Into Word Template

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 95

Hello!

I have a SharePoint list with a Comments column that is set to Append so that all comments are saved with date/time stamp. I have a Power Automate flow that populates a Word Template with the data from the SharePoint List Item properties, however, I cannot pull in the Comments.

How can I get the list of comments (with date / time stamps and all) from the SharePoint list so that I can populate the Word Template with them?

Thanks in advance!

    Can you share how your comments column look like on the sharepoint list ? And also how your flow is structured.

    Thanks

    Hello!

    Thanks for your reply. I've attached images of what the column looks like and the comments I want to pull out. I don't have much of a flow right now since I keep having to re-do it over and over again. 


    I've attached the flow that runs successfully.

    I looked at the notes for my flow and I think I grab the current text on the SP item(datahistory) into a variable, the new text into another variable, concatenate them and add back to the SP list item.
