Is there a way to configure which fields are displayed as modified in a notification email?

If you know which field you want to monitor for, Then you can use the following syntax.

the status was changed from [old.status] 
to [status]


If you prefix the field name with old. then it will show the old Value of the field just before the record was saved.

So in this case you would be doing a custom notification as opposed to the default.

    Hi, Mark,

    I think I wasn't clear. I want to not display some of the changed fields in the notification -- those which are not relevant to the recipient. That said, I think you've given me a clue to try a custom notification.

    Thanks,
    Rick

      Right, so the default notification will give you all the change fields but if you want to pick and choose then you have to build a custom notification.
