# Accessing comment field data

 * I have some custom comment notifications I’m writing for a client. The function
   takes the comment ID and builds the notification content. I’m trying to incorporate
   information in the custom field, but nothing comes through.
 * I expected to be able to use:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       get_comment_meta($comment_id, "field_key", true);
       ```
   
 * But no data comes back. Was I right to expect this to work? Is the field data
   stored differently?

 * Hi,
 * please use following code
 *     ```wp-block-code
       get_comment_meta($comment_id, "wpcomment_fields", true);
       ```
   
 * and it will return meta as array with key value.

 * Thanks, that got me what I needed.
 * To clarify, the return value contains a key `fields` with an array of the meta
   values.
