    Hi Manea Meslin,

    do you need to clear it on the edit form when something has been entered or in general including the append history?

    Kind regards

    Hi Matthias,

     

    Thanks for your comment!

     

    I'd like to clear it in general, no need to do it in the edit form thats why I wanted to use powerAutomate at the begginning.

    Best regards,

    Manea

    Hi Manea Meslin.

    You could experiment with the versioning settings or consider creating a new field for your needs. 
    However, this may not fully address your requirements.

    Clearing existing entries for a multiline text field with the "Append Changes" option is impossible in SharePoint Online. 
    This limitation exists because the field relies on item version history, which is immutable. 

    Each time a new entry is appended, a new item version is created. 
    SharePoint Online does not allow partial modification of item version history, making it impossible to clear or edit individual entries in this type of field.

    Best Regards
