How to create a history log and display that in a field

Posted on by wonka1234 920 Super User 2024 Season 1

Hi,

 

I have two fields  "Action" and the "Date" this action was done (then it is submitted).

Now this can be done multiple times, is there anyway to store a history of the "submits" these two fields have experienced?

 

Ie Today I marked "Sent to Business" for Sept 3rd 2023. 

 

Next week I want to change it to Closed for Sept 7th 2023. 

 

Is there a way or a field I can create to show the previous submission?

 

Thanks.

    Hi @wonka1234 

    You would first need to save the data as individual records in one way or another, if you use Dataverse as datasource you could however turn on Audit and use that table in you Canvas app directly to get access to the change history on items. Not sure if there is a similar way in SharePoint.

    That solution aside you could always set up a "history"-table in you data source and add a field thats a lookup to the item you want to save history for, in addition to set up a "old action value"-field and a "new action value"-field to hold the change made.

    Then basicly write a new record to that table every time you make an update to the action.
    Then you have a history/reference table with all the changes that are made for each action-record.

    Hope the concept was clear 🙂

    @Devvj  ah ok my datasource is sharepoint, so the audit feature may not be the greatest.
