Overview
M-Files allows you to view comments in the activity feed of the object. This support article explains how to add user comments to a separate property on the metadata card of a specific assignment or document, making it easier to review or export comments.
Solution
- Compliance Kit - Managed Properties module
Managed Properties module can copy a comment from the built-in Comment property to another property. After a new comment is left, the previous comment is overwritten, so only the latest comment can be maintained on the metadata card with this module. For a rolling comment feed, see the Property Calculator option below.
An example of a configuration is presented below:
Note: Compliance Kit requires that the application and a separate license is installed.
- Property Calculator
Property Calculator add-on can also be configured to copy the value from the built-in Comment property to a separate property on the metadata card. Unlike Managed Properties, Property Calculator can also maintain a list of rolling comments, preserving previous comments when a new comment is added.
An example rule:
