How can I retrieve the comment field from a payment transaction that I made from my QT wallet?
I can see the comment when I click "Show transaction details" in my QT but I cannot find a way to do this from the RPC console.
Any ideas?

Use the listtransactions RPC call, and look for a field named comment:
$ bitcoin-cli listtransactions
[
...
{
"account" : "",
"address" : "msj42CCGruhRsFrGATiUuh25dtxYtnpbTx",
"category" : "send",
"amount" : -0.00001000,
"vout" : 0,
"fee" : -0.00000225,
"confirmations" : 0,
"txid" : "0ecdc2da9266635349ad04b7374eb1032919c34e7949e60cec198b47e31d2f26",
"walletconflicts" : [
],
"time" : 1427561024,
"timereceived" : 1427561024,
"comment" : "COMMENT" <--- Here
},
...
]
Note that this comment only exists in your wallet, and is not sent across the network. The other party to the transaction will not see it.
Ah, you beat me to it! Here's Python code to check: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/fa9f193774ca76812121
1I believe it's either listtransactions or listunspent. I am certain send and move accept a message parameter. – Wizard Of Ozzie – 2015-03-28T15:50:36.383
