Multiline text field not showing history

[Jorah Lavin]

I have a form which has two multiline text fields where it is important for the users to see the previous entries. The fields are set up with ‘Append Changes to Existing Text,’ and the entries seem to be captured (in my tests I can see date stamps listed below the text boxes), but there seems to be no way to display the text.

If there’s no solution to this, I can try writing the text to another field, but I’d like to avoid that if I can.

Modern DFFS v1.0.11.0

Strange – it is supposed to show under the datestamps. Can you show me a screenshot of how it looks?

Sure, here’s a capture showing that there are date stamps, but you can’t see the actual comment.

Is this a rich text field or is it plain text? – if you look at the version history – does it have actual content in the field?

While looking into this I found a bug that makes the “history” disappear unless the last edit added a value in the append-field. I’ll fix this in the next release (I don’t think it causes your problem though).
