Include only latest 'Comments' Update in Notification

[Josh80]

Hello All

I know this is a common thing but I have tried everything I could find on the Wiki.

Requirement: per TABLE, as needed, limit comments in 'Update Notification' emails to only the most recent journal entry.

I could change the system setting as found here     Using Journal Fields - ServiceNow Wiki

However, this is a Global setting and will apply to everything...we require a bit more flexibility.

I found a helpful suggestion that would modify the Incident Events business rule and modify for 'comments changes' to:

if (current.operation() != 'insert' && current.comments.changes()) {

var cmt = current.comments.getJournalEntry(1);

gs.eventQueue("incident.commented", current, gs.getUserID(), cmt);

}

....and added ${event.parm2} into the notification's template, as shown below.

Short description: ${short_description}

Click here to view: ${URI_REF}

<hr/>

Comments:

${event.parm2}

<hr/>

<div>${mail_script:cxs_EmailSearchResults}</div>

However the result is one entry in the notification for comments that looks like a sys_id.   See attachment.

Not sure why I can't get this to work.   Any suggestions or workarounds?
Thanks

I'm using this email script and getting the comments surrounded by [code] and [/code].  Anyone experience this with email scripts?

I'm having a similar issue, I am getting the date and name of person posting it in my emails too. I only want the body of the entry. Any ideas?
