How do you display the Comment field in Query results?

Question

In Visual Studio Team Services, I'm trying to display text in the comment section of a work item query. Can anyone give me any insight to why the comment field is blank despite adding comments?

I've included a screenshot of my query, and comment side by side.

Comment section blank

Answer 1

Well, "Comments" and "Discussions" are two different Fields they are not the same in VSTS. What you are trying is to display "Comments" from the "Column Options" in the query, but the field that was actually filled/ edited was "Discussions". "Discussions" are only for a Work Item Form. Currently they aren't queryable.

Hope this helps!
