Why does the Work Item History display "Omitting overlong change details"?
![]() As of late we see in some Work Item the message “Omitting overlong change details” in the History. Where is this coming from?How can I access the missing historical data? How can I avoid this? |

Suppose your work item has Large Text or HTML attribute. It is possible to change only a few characters of the attribute value, but the history may be filtering that down.
As an example, I support many projects that interact with IBM RETAIN. The text record of a PMR can exceed 32k and every update to that PMR updates the text... Nothing is missing, it's just suppressed. |

Yes. Still the main question of how to see these "Omitted Overlong change details" in the audit history remains. Why raising a PMR doesn't help? Is there any other possibility?

The audit history can be accessed with APIs like:
- Plain Java
- Reportable REST
Using Reportable REST, the history of the Description attribute of a certain Work Item can be retrieved with following call:
https://HOST:PORT/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem?fields=workitem/workItem[id=WORKITEMID]/itemHistory/(modified|description)
