I have the Last Note column in my project view, I'd like to add the date & name of who entered the last update. Can anyone help with the expression needed in text mode?

Hi @kimberlyho1 - Here you go!

 

To pull who the last note was entered by, do Last Note > Owner ID and then switch it to name in text mode:

 

 

valuefield=lastNote:owner:name querysort=lastNote:ownerID valueformat=HTML displayname=Last Note Entered By linkedname=lastNote namekey=view.relatedcolumn namekeyargkey.0=lastNote namekeyargkey.1=ownerID

 

 

To pull the last note update time, do Last Note > Entry Date and then set it to also show time, if needed.

 

 

Let me know if you have any problems with it!

This is one way you can do that:

 

displayname=Last Note | Entered By | Date
linkedname=lastNote
namekey=view.relatedcolumn
namekeyargkey.0=lastNote
namekeyargkey.1=noteText
querysort=lastNote:noteText
textmode=true
valueexpression=CONCAT({lastNote}.{noteText}," -- ",{lastNote}.{owner}.{name}," -- ",{lastNote}.{entryDate})
valueformat=HTML
