I have notification workflows created to send a notification with multilined comments fields with append text enabled. When executing the notification workflow it sends the notification of the most recent comment in the comment fields which is what I want. Then when entering new comments in the list in one of the comment fields and then executing the workflow its does not email all the previous comments fields only the comments in the newly entered one comment field. I would like the notificaiton workflow to email the most recent comments for each multi lines comment field every time I execute the workflow. Is there a way to do this?

To do this, you need to store the approval comments to the ID / variable
and then use the Query function within the workflow to search for the variable....  I think.

a quick search on here:

Thank you but Im speaking specifically to the notification workflow and the email that executes from the workflow. All the comments do not come through on the email when you add a new comment to one of the comment fields then re-run the workflow. It only shows the most recent comment in the one comment field. I would like it to email all the most recent comments for all comment fields every time I run the workflow.

this feature is not available OOTB. 

value of mulitline field with append changes enabled is always just the most recent update.

 

to whole history you'll have to make a webservice call, see an excample in this thread
