Hi @ChitraMadan , I have seen this article already. This is only allows to grab those fields which are available in the workflow metadata. But what I am asking that is not available in the workflow metaDataMap. So this will not work.

The Correct approach to achieve this requirement, while adding a custom column, we need to query the workflow instance location where the comments are stored. Then we can add the value to the additional column. Here is the code snippet:

Resource resource = resourceResolver.getResource(resourcePath);
if(resource != null) {
    Resource metadata = resource.getChild("metaData");
    if(metadata != null) {
        ValueMap valueMap = metadata.getValueMap();
        if(valueMap.containsKey("comment")){
            workflowMetadata.put("comment", valueMap.get("comment", String.class));
        }
    }
}
