Show Notes for this Order Comments on sales order grid

Question

Trying to show order comments on sales order grid. I have the column but can't seem to show the data. I can show data with eg city or phone number but not the order comments.

Comments.php

namespace Fitzcode\AdminEdits\Ui\Component\Listing\Column;

use \Magento\Sales\Api\OrderRepositoryInterface;
use \Magento\Framework\View\Element\UiComponent\ContextInterface;
use \Magento\Framework\View\Element\UiComponentFactory;
use \Magento\Ui\Component\Listing\Columns\Column;
use \Magento\Framework\Api\SearchCriteriaBuilder;

class Comment extends Column
{
    protected $_orderRepository;
    protected $_searchCriteria;

    public function __construct(ContextInterface $context, UiComponentFactory $uiComponentFactory, OrderRepositoryInterface $orderRepository, SearchCriteriaBuilder $criteria, array $components = [], array $data = [])
    {
        $this->_orderRepository = $orderRepository;
        $this->_searchCriteria  = $criteria;
        parent::__construct($context, $uiComponentFactory, $components, $data);
    }

    public function prepareDataSource(array $dataSource)
    {
        if (isset($dataSource['data']['items'])) {
            foreach ($dataSource['data']['items'] as & $item) {

                $order  = $this->_orderRepository->get($item["entity_id"]);
                $comment = $order->getStatusComment();
                $item[$this->getData('name')] = $comment;
            }
        }

        return $dataSource;
    }
}

Answer 1

Update your code with $order = $this->_orderRepository->get($item["entity_id"]);

            $statusHistoryItem = $order->getStatusHistoryCollection()->getFirstItem();
            $status = $statusHistoryItem->getStatusLabel();
            $comment = $statusHistoryItem->getComment();
            //exit;
            $item[$this->getData('name')] = $comment;

Answer 2

Did you try printing $dataSource before returning with exit()? Check if $dataSource actually contains the comments data.

    public function prepareDataSource(array $dataSource)
    {
        if (isset($dataSource['data']['items'])) {
            foreach ($dataSource['data']['items'] as & $item) {

                $order  = $this->_orderRepository->get($item["entity_id"]);
                $comment = $order->getStatusComment();
                $item[$this->getData('name')] = $comment;
            }
        }
        echo "<pre>";print_r($dataSource);exit;
        return $dataSource;
    }
