 Hi All,

When we add a comment attribute in a work item query it shows only last or latest comment in a report..

Is it possible that we can generate all the comments that were added in a work item in a single report in RTC.

What "report" do you have in mind? If you are building reports by using the Reportable REST API, you can do it with the following URI. It shows all the comments of work item 67, and commentCount indicates how many comments present.
/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem?fields=workitem/workItem[id=67]/(id|summary|commentCount|comments/*)

 Hello Donald, Sorry for late response. Actully, I run the URI you mentioned in my machine. ccm/rpt/repository/workitem?fields=workitem/workItem[id=246]/(id|summary|commentCount|comments/*)  After running, workitem was downloaded to my machine, but I am not able to open that work item. Can you pls guide me further. Thanks.

Not sure why you got to "download" the output. The URL should display content in XML format in your browser (IE, Firefox or Chrome). Since it's in XML format, you will need to use other tools, such as RPE, to make it into a pretty and readable "report" format.

Can't really help any further if you don't give more details of what you're doing, since it works for me without much extra settings.

 Actually....  1: I'd added comment atribute in a work item 2: Entered multiple comments 3:Run the simple report in RTC with column 'Comments' This report shows the latest comment or last comment that was added. But I want all the comment to be shown,that were added. Is it possible??

You still did not tell us what "report" it was. But if it was a report based on a work item query, then the answer is no - you can only show the last comment. If you run a work item query with the "comments" attribute added as a column to display, the column title will clearly say "last comment".

 Donald, I tried as you mentioned about Rest API,  Now, I am able to see all the comments with the work item,but in XML format. How can I fetch all the comments(only), in report format. Thank You.

If you just want comments only, change the field selection from "(id|summary|commentCount|comments/) to "(comments/) in the REST URL (in my original answer). If you want to transform the XML content into a "report" format, you need a separate tool such as Rational Publishing Engine - the browser does not do that. http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/ratipublengi

Yes we can get whole comments from work item through Query. When exporting query results to CSV then you have to select required fields including with Comment field. It will import all the comments from work item in CSV but it will visible only latest comment if you see on spreadsheet. But if you double click on it then will show the whole comments

Hope this information will help you :)
