CSV Excel output of Comments

I would like a comment to show up on my csv excel output report, but cant seem to figure out how. I have tried selecting different options, but have not had any luck so far. Is there a specific combination of options i need to have selected? or is it in the program? I have the comment setup as an operator input that shows up on the normal report.
  • I sent this problem to hex. awhile back and here is what they sent me.
    Sending comments (EDIT: non-report Comments) to excel is not working at this time I have tested up for version 2017R1 I have posted this into the programers and waiting for a version I can point you to were that is fixed. For your records here is the Jira number.
    1. PC-DMIS
    2. PCD-108002


    I just checked on this JIRA and it's fixed for the upcoming release 2017 R2.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    UPDATE: the "fix" is to merely add change the File-Printing-Excel/CSV dialog so that the checkbox is "Report the REPORT Comments".

    Clicking the "Display on Report" checkbox in the Comment dialog still won't enable an Operator, Input, Yes/No, or Document $$ comment to appear in the File-Printing-Excel/CSV output.

    We may add that in the future. Until then, continue with the solution posted: to create a Report Comment and employ automation to transfer the information to it from the Input Comment.
