    Here are three useful formuals

    Parsing Append Only Fields

    so... if you have a text field set to Log Changes where the new entries act in the default manner which is to be at the bottom of the updates, here are some formuals to use to parse out the values from the most recent entry.  I am also assuming that you are logging the date and not the date and time.

    Most recent value (formula text field type)

    Trim(Right([my update field],"]"))

    Date of most recent update (this needs to be a formula date field)

    ToDate(Left(Right([my update field],"["),9))

    Who did the most recent update (formula text field type)

    Trim(NotLeft(Left(Right([my update field],"["),"]"),9))

      Thank you so much work beautiful so now you helped in the past to only show the first input see in another formula the formula below

      var text LogField = [Is the goal measurable?];
      If(Trim(($logField))<>"", 
      "[" & Left(NotLeft($LogField,"["),"["))

      but the formula above shows the date and QB user who made the input

      "[MAR-05-19 pba@nextsteppcs.org] second input

      How can I trim the first par with is the log entry ("[MAR-05-19 pba@nextsteppcs.org]) that only show me the date input (Second Input)

      overall  First value (formula text field type) is what I am looking for help 

      Thanks
