Author Thread: Using the Notes field on History tables

Using the Notes field on History tables Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi

We're using a custom History table to store History for the Account entity. However I've noticed that it's not making use of the "Notes" field in the table.

What needs to be set up in order to allow the note to contain something along the lines of "[Field] set to [New value]"?

Thanks for the help!

David

Right...

So I've had a brainwave! Use an entity event to automatically write the value of that field/property based on the other active values.

However I've tried the code in the OnCreate, OnBeforeInsert and OnAfterInsert events, as a Primary Step and it never seems to have any impact.

accounthistory.NOTE = accounthistory.FieldName + " set to " + accounthistory.NewValue + "."; accounthistory.Save();

I've also tried it with and without the "save" action.

My next things to try are as a Post Execute step and a Pre Execute step...

Please help!

Dave

SOLVED!!

Code as above as a Primary Step on the OnAfterInsert event.

I just forgot to "Activate" the new step, replacing the preprepared step. Once I did that, everything worked perfectly. Such a rookie mistake...
