Lookup Columns Changes not Audited in Dataverse Audit History

Not sure if this is a limitation or I am missing something here.

I have Audit history working fine for all field types for many tables, but not for any lookup column.

I have auditing enabled for both tables (in relation to the lookup) and when changes are made, all are audited with the exception of lookup columns (all of them).

All help is appreciated.

Hello @Salem,

Please check weather you have enabled Auditing in the Field level.

Navigate to make.powerapps.com --> Click on settings at the Top --> Click Advance settings --> Click Customization --> Click Customize the system --> Expand Entities --> Expand Which entity you need to enable auditing for lookup field --> Click Lookup Field --> Open it and Make the auditing Enable--> Then Save and Close then Publish it

@rampprakash that works thanks a lot.
Do I have to do this manually for every lookup field, is there a way to make them "audit-able" by default (even when creating tables) or batch update this property for all lookups?

Thanks again,

Hello @Salem,

Unfortunately, there is no other way, while creating a field itself we need to set this to avoid this type of issues.

You can edit multiple fields in the referenced editor. Select all lookup fields of which you want Auditing Enabled -> Edit -> Edit Multiple Fields -> Tick Audting Enabled -> Save -> Publish
