Column change for Dataverse column

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 1,168

Hi,

I have a use case where I would like to add a note every time a choice column changes values.

This note would simply need to say Quote Stage gas changed from <previous value> to <New Value>

At this point I'm trying to get my head around where I might get the old value from?

Thanks in advance

Todd

    Hi @Tango,

     

    This sounds a lot like auditing. Can't you simply use the Audit feature for this instead?

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/manage-dataverse-auditing

     

    If for some reason you still want post this separately as a note you could still reuse that auditing feature as well. Just retrieve the details from the Audits table via a List rows.

     

    Below is an example with the Accounts table.

     

    1. List rows for the Audits table uses the below filter query. 

    _objectid_value eq '@{triggerOutputs()?['body/accountid']}'

     

    2. The select retrieves the changedAttributes array

    json(outputs('List_rows')?['body/value'][0]['changedata'])['changedAttributes']

     

    3. The Add new row uses the values from the Select and concats it to a text

    concat('Field ',first(body('Select'))['logicalName'], 'has changed from: ', first(body('Select'))['oldValue'], ' to ', first(body('Select'))['newValue'])

     

    4. The regarding field is set for the Account table with the below format

    /accounts/@{triggerOutputs()?['body/accountid']}
