Exporting or reporting on Comment Log field

Hi there,

I've found some pages here from 2 years ago asking about the possibility to export the Comment Log field.

(f.i. https://sugarclub.sugarcrm.com/explore/help-forums/enterprise-professional/f/enterprise-professional-questions/6292/comment-log-reporting)

Now 2 years down the road, is there something improved on behalve of 'easy access' of the Comment Logs ?

Back then the solution was to extract the Comment Logs via advanced reporting.

Bye now

  • Colleagues, let me pose a question in this context:

    Do you consider the comment log an evil tool for users - an unstructured, notepad-like chronological mess that caters to lazy habits? A space where users are allowed to skip logging calls, scheduling meetings, managing tasks, or enriching profiles while nurturing leads and developing customers - just dropping comments instead?

    In such setups, it seems there may be no CRM data model at all - just a contact card with sociographic fields and a vague commitment to dump everything into its comment log.

    So, if users are permitted to comment on a record instead of engaging with a structured CRM data model, what value can reporting on that messy comment log actually bring?

    Thanks,

    Best Regards,
