Hello<br />
<br />
This is because SharePoint is just emulating the appending on the web UI - it is simply displaying the values from previous versions on the disp and edit form. They have not implemented it on the list views and webservices. <br />
<br />
You would need to code it to get all version values for this field - see this post for more details <a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26869470/How-can-I-display-the-append-only-history-comments-v3comments-using-the-client-object-model.html" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26869470/How-can-I-display-the-append-only-history-comments-v3comments-using-the-client-object-model.html</a><br />

Export from Sharepoint to Excel.<br />

When you export data from an 'appended' multiline, rich text data field all previous entries into that field are lost and only the last entry gets exported. &nbsp;I was kinda hoping (expecting) that it would send all entries along with the respective name and date tags. &nbsp;Alas, with MS Sharepoint it was not to be!!!!<br />

Help anyone please?!<br />

Why does Sharepoint lose exported 'appended' rich text data?

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.

Microsoft SharePoint

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.
