Is it possible to export Comments/Discussion?
I have to communicate my work items(Risks, Issues, CRs) to the customer, who doesn't have access to RTC.
The comments/Discussion is an important piece of my work items.
Is it possible to export the work items WITH Comments/Discussion in a structured way?
* I know I can export o csv/html, but in order to do that I need to have the attribute included in the Result Layout, but it's not possible to include the Comments/Discussion to the Result Layout in a query and hence I cannot export them.
Any ideas?
Thank you

I am able to select the comments attribute when exporting from the Eclipse client. You can add any attribute not set in the query by clicking next to go to the second wizard tab.
In the Web, this seems to be not supported.
That's excellent., Ralph.
It's not possible to add the Comments to the Resul Layout, but it is possible to add it to the actual export file, as you described.
That solved my problem.
Thank you
Hi Ralph, I can export work items to csv or html by running query and adding comments attribute. But the comment attribute value is not contained in single cell. It is getting populated in multiple rows and columns. Could you guide how to export comment in proper format.
Comments
that is how the exporter works.. 1 row per workitem. anything that contains multiples are wrapped in quotes and will 'appear' to spill over into a new row,
comments are particularly nasty to deal with. (we gave up and wrote our own code to present them the way we want
Sam, Thanks for the swift response. I can write script to put it in a proper format. Unfortunately the attributes are not surrounded with quotes properly.
