Log changes made on a form

I created a history field in QuickBase, this is essentially a multi-line text field that is supposed to log all changes/edits made on the form along with the user who made the change. In the field properties of the "history" field I selected the log edits feature, however this seems to still not be working. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Please find details below:

    I've implemented more of a Audit Table, which through automations gets populated when fields change... it captures the table/field that was updated, original value, new value, the user and timestamp of change...

    This should avoid the issue of form rules/grid edit. Just my 2 cents.

    How are you inserting text/data into this field? Are you using form rules to do something with it?

    The options you have selected will log edits or changes to that field in particular and nothing else on the form. Just to make sure it is clear that it isn't going to log edits to anything but itself.
