Is there a way to add a comment from the "discussion" section of a task into a table in ReportBuilder?

I was hoping to include as a part of this a section that contains the text of the a recent comment made in the discussion section as a way to provide a little more information on the task status. However, I did not see "discussion" as one of the attributes that can be included in a report. Does anyone know if this is something that can be done? Thank you! |

Hi Patrick,
If you want to show it on a Dashboard may have something to try:
I've tried this without success using Report Builder; however was able to build a quick Query with the Comments filed added to the result: After running the query Select the option on the Right hand side "View Full Results in a printable format" Copy the URL.
Add an External Content Widget to your dashboard and enter the URL.
Worth a try?
Matt, thanks! That did exactly what I was looking for, and being on the dashboard ended up being more convenient than the reportbuilder anyways.
Do you happen to also know if there's a way to make it so that it only shows the most recent comment as well?
