Hi there,

What's your use case?

We have a form that gets routed to multiple people for review and edits. It was requested to essentially have the audit trail information (at least the last step) baked into the form history.  We have the action, user, and comments, but not the step information that generated the action.

What you can do is that if you have workflow and the form goes through a step process you can make a text box that records the previous action through workflow with the user. Lets say you have a branch for rejected and approved. In each branch you can have metadata be updated by grabbing the information in the text box and appending the previous history with something like "approved by userName @ specific date." If you are looking to record who last edited the form it would be slightly difficult to do with specifics. You can have the workflow look for form changes and then edit the document in the history field to say "last edited by..."

Hi there, when you save to repository, you can choose to "Include action history", which includes action, user, and comments

Hi there,

I am having the same use case and I saw your post.

I have a comment history box as a field in my metadata and the user would like to have an auto number generated with each comment field that will be added so that he may refer to specific comments when he has to. Do you think it's possible to do this? Can you please help me

 

Thanks ,

Ketsia
