Additional comments and Work notes is of type `Journal List` and therefor we can not get their value directly. So here's how to interact with `comments` and `work_notes`.

```javascript
(function(current) {

    // Get the latest entry
    var lastComment = current.comments.getJournalEntry(1);
    var lastWorkNote = current.work_notes.getJournalEntry(1);

    // Get all entries
    var allComments = current.comments.getJournalEntry(-1);
    var allWorkNotes = current.work_notes.getJournalEntry(-1);

})(current);
```
