Include AccountManager field in Audit Trail

[eddyman1us]

How we may include the change of account manager field in the Audit trail ?

Tried the "Include" value as TRUE in the list of fields at Entity Manager in ApplicationArchitect, however the change never gets recorded neither as a database change.

For Relationship objects - like Account.AccountManger, you will want to enable Auditing for the Relationship object itself. 

Press F4 to show the Property Sheet window

In the tree-view...

expand Account entity

expand Child Properties

select (single-click) on the AccountManager related object

See the Audited property in the Property sheet to enable Auditing.

Caveat!

There is a defect in v7.5.4 where Auditing of related objects does not work.  That may have gotten fixed in one of the recent WebUpdates, however I'm afraind I am not 100% certain.

I am fairly certain that issue has been addressed in the new Sage SalesLogix v8.0 release.

Tried turning Audited property=True through the child relationship and it doesnt record, another business partner confirmed this as a defect since 752.

It seems like only way would be hackish way to write a history record at the OnBeforeUpdate event of the entities .

Nevertheless appreciated the response.
