Is it possible to save workflow comments as a variable for future use?

To save workflow comments as a variable for future use, follow these steps:

1) Add a Custom Action stencil to your workflow.

2) Add the "Create Form Data And Extra Data" action to your stencil.

3) Select "EFormData (Document)" for the Type.

4) Provide a variable name.  For example, "WorkflowComment".

5) In the "Value" field, select the "Get Variable" action.

6) The variable name for this action will be PATH_COMMENT.

7) The context will be "RoutePath".  

8) Form Data variables can be used within the Text area of the body of an Email stencil.  Use $$Document.varName$$ for Form Data.  So in this example, use $$Document.WorkflowComment$$". The value of the workflow comment will now be in the variable named "Document.WorkflowComment".
