Make Row comments visible in the table

Hey, Baserowers!

Is it somehow possible to see a preview of the Row Comments within a Table view?

I want basically to create one Column which contains the beginning text of the particular Row comments.

Thanks!

This is not directly possible in Baserow. A work-around could be to setup an automation where you use the API endpoint https://api.baserow.io/api/row_comments/[table id]/[row id]/. However, you can only trigger the automation if a row is created, updated or deleted. Not if a new comment is added.

Would it be a solution to create a Long text field and enabling the richt text format? This allows you to create a list of comments that automatically shows a preview in the table.

Thanks! Will try either of ways!

@frederikdc Hi, are there any updates on the mechanics of Comments in Baserow?

For larger tables, it is impossible to keep track of the comments without reliable info on them in the table. Being able to filter by rows with comments would be a minimum requirement to make this work as a an element of “actionable feedback” workflow. If we could have a field with people who commented and the date of last comment, that would be ideal.

Are any improvements to the comments feature in the works currently?

Thanks!

No, there is no feature under development to filter based on the number of comments or most recent comments.

The only way is using the endpoint Baserow API spec (get_row_comments) that gets all the comments from a given table and row
