Action history improvement

[eduardofendrich]

Hi,

In the action history entity, I can find who and when update any data. However, I can't see which data were changed.

Is there any way to improve the action history to add "old" and "new" datas to the entity? I need them to audit purposes.


Thanks

Solved partially. I can configure "audit" for the most part of entity fields. However, I'm not able to configure audit for text fields (text area's).

Hi Eduardo,

Unfortunately, "Text" fields (multiline text with markdown support) do not support the "Audited" parameter. As a workaround, you can create "Varchar" type fields:

A further workaround I guess you can add a formula to copy/paste it to the varchar, then the varchar should be able to audit log. The formatting will look funny but hey, at least the old vs new text get shown.
