Is there a way to copy notes into the Comment for each row?

Cathy Salscheider

I imported data from a spreadsheet and it had a Notes column with running status updates for each row. I'd like to have them start using comments and thus want to bring in the data from the Notes column into a comment, so they can continue to see the history in a logical way.

I don't see a way to automate the copying of data from Notes cell into the comment for each row. I am not dying to do it manually - ugh.

thanks!

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

Yes, you can use the 3rd-party option, Zapier, or similar, and have it added to the discussion.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Thank you Andree, but I don't have a budget to purchase third party apps. Still looking for other creative ideas. Thanks.

Happy to help!

Depending on your data size, Zapier could be free or very affordable, so I recommend checking it out.
