Comparing data in a custom field before and after changes

[Stephen_Li]

@valerijssal - welcome to the forum! Changes to fields are captured in the task’s activity section (down where the comments are, tab over to All Activity). I believe Asana does truncate changes if they’re made in quick succession (e.g., if I change a field value and then go back and change it 5 min later, it will only show the last of those changes).

If you need higher fidelity, you could get this info from the API; probably the easiest way would be to set up webhooks for the tasks of the relevant projects (could be all). That said, you’ll need to do something with that info. I am not sure about whether some of the pre-built Asana tools do this.

There is a feedback request on this topic that you could vote for as a long-term native solution:

Full visibility of all task changes history including any changes to custom fields in short period

It would be incredibly helpful if the comments/activity section of each task could contain a FULL history of all changes to that task including any changes to custom fields. It is my understanding if one user makes multiple consecutive changes to the same task property within a 24 hour period (where by “consecutive” I mean one user makes multiple changes without another user changing that property), the activity stream will only show the most recent change made. For audit purposes, it is essen…
