Posted on by Marutha_K 51

Hi All,

 

I have an issue in displaying the comments field (Multiline text with append text option in SharePoint list) in Power App.

Details of app:

1. Canvas App

2. SharePoint list data source 

3. Issue with Multiline text with append text option 

 

I have tried deleting and adding the control again but only empty comment field is displayed but not the history of comments in Power Apps. 

Any help on this issue will be great help!
