How to Use PAB "Comment" Field in a View Question

Apologies in advance for this potentially clueless question, I’m not a developer, but an admin with ability to create/modify simple views.

In the Notes PAB, there is a field on the bottom of the Contacts form called “Comment” which is under the bottom section of the form in a section with “\hidden” at the top. When trying to add that field to a custom view for exporting contacts, that field is not in the list of fields to add to a view. How can I add that field to a view? Looked through the designer help and could not find anything to assist.

MANY thanks in advance, apology for the Dev 101 question. Dan

Subject: Comment field

the Comment field is a Rich Text field, which cannot be used (directly) in a view.

An indirect method, if you were to customize your contacts application, would be to use @Abstract. This would only work for new contacts, unless you created a migration utility which updated existing contacts to use this.

If you want to see @Abstract in action, the Mail template uses this in the Message, Reply, and Reply with History forms. Look at the $Abstract field at the top of the form.
