How to display history in a report?

Hi All

I got a request to create a report like this:

Detailed description of defect ( to display ID, Description, Headline, *History*) Criteria: dynamic -ID

But the History is a multi-entry thing. Can I get all History entries in a multi-line text field in the report? How?

Thanks
Jirong

I would play around with the history.action_timestamp using between values. And making sure you sort only to show up one time per record id

Yes, you can

Display the history field in a seperate detail section in the report.

It will display all the values.

Sorry, I was not clear in my earlier post.

Please do the following:-

Create group and use your id as the group. In the group section display the Headline and Description and in the detail section display the history field.

Attached a sample, you can change the format show that the look and feel is good

Thanks

Another question.

Today, user wants to display Note as well. It's the Note_Log I need to display, right? I believe currently we are giving a self-grow text area, so these long notes can make the page urgly. How do you hanle this?

Thanks

I only "allow" my users to request the last note in the note log. I think people do not realize how bad this looks or what they're injecting into the report.
