Flag if the field has been changed?

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

I want to show if the data in an individual field has been changed, or deleted, and who changed it. I know in FM there are several prebuilt fields, like "Modified By", and "Modified On", but these operate on a row, not just one field.

In other words, when a user changes ANY field in a record, user's name will show.

Is there an easy way to accomplish this? I can think of some complex scripting (Yaiks), but maybe there's a better way?

Many thanks.

Hi Bikeboy,

This isn't that hard to set up, here are some example files on how to do this.
