Hi @Souvick A ,
The comments are available in sys_journal_field tables
In application navigator you can search sys_journal_field.list and press enter, it will give all the comments in the system
Go to approver and find the table and sys_id of the record.
Paste the sys_id of the record in the document_id of the sys_journal_field. You will get your comments.
Please mark correct if my response has solved your query.
Cheers,
Mohammed Basheer Ahmed.

Hi @Souvick A ,
Create a BR during the case creation.
You can easily get its sys_id of the record being created
Glide into the sys_journal_field table
query the record based on sys_id
modify the comments
update the journal field.
Hope you understood the solution.
