Hello Community,

We are using Coda as a CRM for our business.

We’re using a display view of our database of contacts, and this pulls through any relevant information in a quick and easy to view manner.

Is there a way to show the latest comments in the body of the detail view, rather than having to go to the bottom of the page?

I had thought if I create a comment column I could get it to display in the header of the view.

I would also love to be able to carry across conditional formatting into this view.

Hi @Dan_Price,

Great question. A few of us have been asking for this:

> [@Is there a way to reference row comments?](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-reference-row-comments/13280):
>
> I want to start using the native Coda row comments: Does anyone know how to reference them with a formula? Or even better create one with an action/button?

Hopefully your vote can help bring this up on the Feature backlog within Coda’s Product Team’s prioritization list!
