Append text fields not displayed properly in modern SP list view
I recommend you to provide feedback about this issue using the tools provided by Microsoft in the new user experience (Feedback button). By the way, adding LincolnDeMaris to the conversation
Thanks, did this. I'm concerned; however, b/c this is existing functionality that is effectively now broken.

My experience is similar, though slightly different. With the new list experience the Append changes to existing text option has no effect when using the edit form. To a user, it looks like a textbox to update, and none of the previous entries are shown. The result for my users is lots of confusion, and the isolated comments that I usually expect are mixed up with the previous commenter's text.

For me at least, this all seems to have been temporary (a couple of weeks). The new list experience and Append change to existing text option now works as it did in the classic interface. Thanks MS.

Wow - if that is the case that would be amazing, but it has been a while now for me and no change. Just to check Brian Mair - attached are two screenshots from one particular list item in both new and old list view. Is this what you were seeing before and it is now resolved for you?
