Global Stream Field Change

[JRender]

Hello,

Our organization began using Espo several months ago and so far we've been quite satisfied with the results. I did notice something about the Global Stream that I wanted to ask about though.

In the Lead entity, when I change someone's status in the status field (we are using custom statuses), it registers in the global stream as an update and lists the status that they were changed to. However, for any other field that the Lead entity has (whether it be a pre-made field or a custom created one) when the field is changed, the global stream says the record was updated and gives the name of the field that was changed, but it doesn't say what the field was changed into (like the status does).

Is there any way to make the other fields also show what they were changed into in the Global Feed like the status field does? If so, how do you go about doing that?

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated, and thank you for your time.

Hi,
if understand, have you checked in EntityManager->Entity->Field->audited = true ?

The other fields do have auditing set to on, which is why it shows that the field was updated. It just doesn't show what the field was updated to.

I've included a screenshot of consecutive log updates in my global feed with the names redacted to protect privacy. As you can see the first (bottom) update entry shows that the status field was changed to Registered. The update log just above it says the Program Type field was changed, but it doesn't say what it was changed to. It would be nice if there was a way to enable it to do that.

FYI, the Leads entity has been renamed Students because we are a school.

Hi JRender,

You just need to click on the arrow after the lead name (or other entity record).

Example with a closed arrow:



Example with an open arrow:

Thank you for your response lazovic. I was aware that I could click on the drop-down arrow to see that information, and I wouldn't necessarily want to turn that off for Text fields lest the global stream feeds become incredibly long. However, I was hoping that there might be a way for certain field types that typically don't use a lot of characters like Enum or Multi-Enum to display what the field is being changed to by default without having to click on the arrow each time. If that is not possible in the current iteration of Espo, I understand though.

I think this can only be achieved by adding/modifying the code.

JRender you can use Stream-pro to always have updates expanded:

I had not heard of that extension before, so thank you for bringing it to my attention Kharg.
