Field History Tracking

Feature recording old and new values of selected fields when they change, viewable in a history related list.

Definition

Admins can track up to 20 fields per object (more with Field Audit Trail). History is retained for 18 months in the UI and 24 months via the API by default. Changes to long text areas record that the field changed but not the values.

Exam tip

Do not confuse field history (data changes) with Setup Audit Trail (configuration changes).
