    Hi,

    I wanted to retrieve Description property value from revision history that is updated few days back.

    Below are the steps i followed using Rally WSAPI

    1. Retrieved RevisionHistory Collection URL from testcase API
    2. Got Revision Details from Revision Collection URL.
    3. Got Revision in which Description-rally-property is updated.

    Description of that particular Revision is being retrieved as

    'DESCRIPTION changed [<br/>value too long to display], OWNER changed from [XXXXXX@YY.com] to [shared.crerallyuser@ge.com], TEST FOLDER changed from [TFXXXXX: Test Folder old name] to [TFXXXX: Test Folder New Name]'
     

    How can i get my old description back

    Hi Sahithi.

    Your query process (these 3 steps you had mentioned) is correct. Unfortunately, if you description was too long then this is what is coming from the revision history. Our lookback api doesn't include the RTF fields (so Description isn't included there). I apologize, but I'm not sure there is a way to find that value. This is also mentioned here

    @Rusty Lloyd , this is a long standing issue. Would you think the customer shall create a RFE for this? open a support ticket?

    Thanks,

    Sagi

    I would suggest having them open a support ticket with a RFE or they could also use the megaphone in the product to submit it as well. 

    Thanks!
