Body: <p>I'd like to be able to update multiple Activities easily. I've prepared a Profile and have activated these fields:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Activity Date</li>
  <li>Time</li>
  <li>Activity Status</li>
  <li>Subject</li>
  <li>Details</li>
  <li>Duration</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>All works as expected, except for the Details field which contains the Copy icon at the top of the column, but does not display the fields for each row. Instead the column is blank.</p>
  
  <p>Thinking this may be an issue since Details is a text field, I added a Custom text field called Scratchpad. When added to the profile, this custom field displays as expected.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas as to why the Details field won't play along correctly? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>

Comments.Text: Thanks for your reply. I tried this with the latest WordPress and Drupal demos and got the same result. All fields included in the profile work except for Details.

Title: Update Multiple Activities - Cannot Display "Details" Field
ThreadText: # Update Multiple Activities - Cannot Display "Details" Field
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-04-09)
  
  I'd like to be able to update multiple Activities easily. I've prepared a Profile and have activated these fields:
  
  * Activity Date
  * Time
  * Activity Status
  * Subject
  * Details
  * Duration
  
  All works as expected, except for the Details field which contains the Copy icon at the top of the column, but does not display the fields for each row. Instead the column is blank.
  
  Thinking this may be an issue since Details is a text field, I added a Custom text field called Scratchpad. When added to the profile, this custom field displays as expected.
  
  Any ideas as to why the Details field won't play along correctly?
  
  Thanks.
