If it’s OK with you, I’d like to just to the next step of this same use case: how to display the “change report” to the user.
The custom form is adding a row to a table serving as a “Change log”. I’m using a “list relation” component inside the client details screen. Clicking on this will lead us to a cards view of the changes made to that client. Now, clicking on any of these cards will take us to a new screen with the details of such a change. The issue I have now is how to show changes side-by-side, and show only the changes. i.e. - no need to show values that haven’t changed. This log table has both the updated values and the previous values. What I did now is have two “action text” for each value: previous and updated. These are visible only if the “updated” is not empty.
Needless to say, this looks bad.
I would love to have this with an inline list, but how do I refer the inline list to a single row? I’ve found this great post by @Jeff_Hager , but it seems like an overkill…
The other component I would be happy to use is a basic but here I have two challenges: 1. Need a 3rd column (Name of change, previous, updated). 2. It will show a line even if updated value is empty.
Based on your visual example here, here’s a quick visual example from MS-Word. This is how the user should see it.
Ideas? Magic tricks?
