With the newly released functionality of commenting for reports, it would be great to be able to retrieve these using the API in order to create summaries or overviews of the comments in a separate report.

RE: Extract comments from API

I have had the same request from my accounts team they want to be able to comment on individual rows in a report, and then for others to see those comments and then feed those reported items back into a filtered version of teh report to ensure they have processed all exceptions and so on

We would need it as well. In budgeting, it is good to analyse later, what was the process behind certain costs etc.

This would be amazing. At the point of looking at paying for some custom visual/PowerApp development to get around this, which is ridiculous given we've only just managed to get a Premium business case through the organisation.

The current arrangements are fine if you're just sharing with a small number of users, or pushing an idea around for discussion. They're utterly hopeless for any serious corporate purpose.

RE: Extract comments from API

Yes, agree. Would be great if we could extract timestamps and even the data points refered to.

It's important for people using operational data to be able to explain why there is a deviation, and it's important to revisit these comments in the future!
