Hi, I am currently researching building a logging mechanism for any CRUD operations to our database. I know that I can create a Log object every time a CRUD operation is performed, but it seems to me like if I want to do this system-wide for all CRUD operations, I would have to manually go through every single action, checking for CRUD operations and running the action to create a log. Is there any support from Appfarm for a more efficient way of achieving the logging that we want?

> Hello! Built-in Audit trail is on the roadmap, and will be a very nice feature (together with more support for listening to delete, update and create events on object classes, enabling a more event-driven architecture). Until then, I have a quite simple suggestion, that may be implemented. An action taking one (or more) string parameters as input. In this case, just a string that is indented to hold the new value of all changed properties. The action should create the audit log entry to be s…

Hope this helps!
