Is there a way to automatically identify/capture the fields which have been changed inside a Power Apps form which integrate with same Sharepoint

We have a SharePoint list named Invoices + an another SharePoint list named Invoices_Logs

 

now we have a form which allow users to add/edit invoices. but we want to capture what have been changed when the user update the invoice field and store this info inside the Invoices_Logs list.

 

let say we have an Invoice item with those values :-

- Invoice_Number = Invoice-1

- Balance = 100

- Type = Personal

 

and someone edits this invoice and change the values as follow:-

- Invoice_Number = Invoice-1

- Balance = 100

- Type = corporate

 

then the Invoice_Log list should list this inside a mute-line of text field:-

 

Field= Type. Old value= Personal / New value = corporate

 

now i know that i can create a variable inside Power Apps which stores the original item values >> and compare them with the fields before the user submits the form >> but i am asking if Power apps provide an automated way to capture which field/s has been changed inside the form?

 

Thanks

    Hi @johnjohn123 ,

     

    Canvas itself cannot capture which field has been changed. As a workaround, we can call a flow from canvas app because the flow has an action called 'Get Changes for an item'.

    Hope it helps.

    @v-xiaochen-msft also seems the "get changes for an item or file" will only capture the changes over specific amount of time,

    and not based on the version history
