I had to keep all former changes to the data in a log environment so a supervisor could see who made a change and when. These were intricate parts and assemblies and the management wanted to know who made a change, and why.

So I had to capture if a coulmn was different, and if so old / new value, who and when.

You can make this easier for your needs. Have a column for last editor and update that as needed in the biz object for every table. Next put a trigger in the table for update and set the EditDate in the trigger.

Yours is a simple request.
