A4J: I need to get what is changed in Description as before and after the change

[Mani]

Hi All,

I have a requirement using A4J to check user is changing the description field.
If user is changing then I need to trigger a email with Description before and after the change to compare what is changed in the description.

Hi @Mani ,

Guess the trigger would be „field value change“. Then you could use the following smart values in a „send mail“ action:

• {fieldChange.fromString}} - Returns the previous value as displayed.

• {fieldChange.toString}} - Returns the new value as displayed.

see the detailled description here:

Hi @Stefan Salzl 

Just incase if we need to display the difference data(like to display/highlight the new changed description from original data ie what is changed). Thanks in advance!
