Re: log edits to a formula text field

First, formula fields technically don't contain any data so they don't ever "change". They're instead calculated at the moment they're used in a form, report, notification, etc. If instead you have a regular date field for example, this suggestion will allow you to track those changes: http://quickbase.intuit.com/developer/knowledge-base/how-can-i-create-log-track-changes-made-text-fi...

1. It would be great if someone was to provide a solution to this problem.
2. Useless link provided. Directs to the generic 'Community' home page.

Later on this summer there will be an ability to enable audit trails on selected fields. This is a significant undertaking by Quick Base and will be offered as part of the top level subscription "Platform" or with an extra charge to the Premiere" level.

But you can now use an Action to populate child table record of audit changes if there are a few key fields that you want to track. The concept would be to set up a child table to the Main table and have an Action write to that table when certain fields change.
