I have an automation cloud workflow that fires on the SPO Check-in and Publish Major version event, however I am not able to get the user’s check-in Comment from the Start Event - it’s not available as a start value nor as a value from querying the list/library after commencement.
Apart from having to a HTTP request as parse XMLor JSON, is there an alternate method to get this?
TIA
Rob
Hi
User comments for version control on SharePoint are stored inside the version history its self, it is obtainable via a web request to the item using a SharePoint Web Request action in Nintex.
It would look something like this, you will need the site URL, list/library name and item ID:
The web request would be configured as a Post to the following URL:
<Site URL]/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('sList Name]')/items([ID])/versions?$filter=IsCurrentVersion eq true
with the request headers as:
Accept: application/json; odata=nometadata
Content-Type: application/json; odata=verbose
After that you can use the output of the web request to get the commit comments using a query JSON as follows:
$.valuen0].OData__x005f_CheckinComment
The output should be the latest versions check in comments, as below.
I have added an export key here for you. (edited to add permanent key)

Hope this helps

Thanks for the response - already resolved it back then. Used the following to get the last check-in comment:
/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('(Library name]')/items('(ID]')/Versions?$top=1&$orderby=VersionId%20desc
And from the Reponse Content - JSON Query -
$.d.results
