Employment history on job application

Do you list each position you've had within a company seperate or would you just list the companies you've worked for separately?
For example: i've worked for my current employer for the past 5 years and have had 4 different titles due to promotions. Should i list each title separately or just list the employer as one with my current title

It would depend on the job you are applying for.
BTW, job applications for professional positions are a joke. Look at my resume.

The whole point of a resume is get an interview. It doesn't have to be and isn't meant to be a full chronological history
Same thing in a job application. If it won't help you get the job, there is no point to list it

I list them separately on my resume since they show moving up in the company. I add duties and accomplishments for each position held (ie- Presidents Award for most sales in 2013).

Not 100% true.
Some companies and many government type jobs calculate your pay almost exclusively on your work experience.
Now, most of the time if they want it I think they'll say explicitly to 'include all work experience' and tell you why, but Auburn University had a shite storm over this a few years back with custodial staff. One guy found another guy's check stub and saw that their pay wasn't what he thought it would be...part of the reason why ended up being because the other guy listed every bit of his experience on his initial application, whereas the other guy only listed the last three jobs, or something to that effect.

Most basic way to list it:
Company A (start date-end date)
Position A (start date-end date) Notable duties and accomplishments.
Position B (start date-end date) Notable duties and accomplishments.
Etc...
I'd recommend listing the individual job titles since it shows growth and development through the company, as someone else mentioned. You would rather a future employer have more info than they need when deciding to bring you in for an interview than not enough. Just my opinion.

My resume is pretty detailed for the most recent 2-3 years, less so for the past 10, and before that I just have a "summary" listing. Nobody GAF what I did 15 years ago and I don't waste time going on about it.

That's exactly how I handle it on my resume. On a job app, where there is only so much space or lines, or online app where the text box only allows so many characters, it is harder.
