Good day, please help me to highlight the most recent updated field using Form. When the user clicks the view item, she will see the highlighted field which was recently edited and saved. Thank you!

    pls check out:
     
    SharePoint list with columns: Name, Age, Email, LastUpdatedField.
     
    When the user updates the Email field, the LastUpdatedField column is updated to "Email". On viewing the record: The Email Data Card is highlighted in yellow.
     
    OnVisible of the screen - Set(varLastUpdatedField, ThisItem.LastUpdatedField);
     
    Fill property of the Email Data Card - If(varLastUpdatedField = "Email", RGBA(255, 255, 0, 0.5), RGBA(255, 255, 255, 0))
     
    Other options
    Track changes in a local collection within the app. Highlight based on the last edited field stored in the collection.
    Power Automate - Use a Flow to capture and tag the last updated field during save operations.
