Grab Action Comment in flow

chris-mccullough

In Talent Acquisition, there is a comment field on this form:

ManagerDisposition_implicit_action_form

Called:

JobApplication_action_comment

I'd like to capture the comment added to this field and write it to a new field I made on the Job Application business class so that I can add it to lists, in reports, etc... I am having a hard time understanding where this comment is being stored and how best to access it. This action form is tied to an Immediate Approve flow...I was thinking I could configure that flow to grab the comment at that time and write it where needed.
I know that this particular action comment ends up in the audit log and that is really hard if not impossible to grab it from there...

Does that make sense?

Any help is appreciated.

Question to help me help you: Why not have the field you want to capture this "comment" on this form instead of the JobApplication_action_comment? 

JobApplication_action_comment is tied to the action itself, not as a field. It's stored in the xml history, so to access it and place it elsewhere, you'd have to update your IPA to specifically call this "action request", capture the comment, then do an update LMTxn to save it to your field. It may be easier to add this field to your form (and your action request as a parameter) so it is updated when the action is committed. 

I hope that makes sense
