Displaying complete content of a Sharepoint list Text field when entries are appended

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by GreenJaguar 178

I have a sharepoint list where a text field is configured to append entries to previous ones.  In an app, I want to create a way to see all entries in that field.  But ThisItem.Notes only pulls the last entry.

 

I thought this would behave like a 'container' so that I could create a gallery and say that

Items=ThisItem.Notes , but no cigar.  

 

I saw this was asked about 2 years ago and @mdevaney tried to help but the issue was not resolved.  

 

Any ideas?

    Hello @GreenJaguar 

     

    You'll need to use PowerAutomate if you want to retrieve version history since there is no Native way of doing it in PowerApps. Click here to see the flow on how you can retrieve it.

    If you prefer a simpler structure, the answer of @mdevaney here is really good:

    If you want a bit more structure to it, save data as a string in JSON format so you can have LastEdit date properties added along with the comment separately stored. then just parse it for your gallery later.

    @cha_cha After looking at the videos I decided to go with a 'Relational' approach, matching NoteID to CustomerID
