Tracking edits of one column only

I'm trying to track when end dates are changes in the project plan. I've added a system-generated column that will show when a whole row is modified, any way to limit that to one column? I need reporting capabilities that aren't possible with the activity log or cell activity functions. It also would be great if there was a conditional formatting rule for "is changed" for the date field!

Any ideas greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,

You could use notifications in the Alerts & Actions section to set up a rule that would notify you when a change of a specific column happens.

Would that work for you?

I hope this helps you!

I can think of a few Zapier Zaps that might help with this.

The cell history can also be extracted with the API.

You are right when you question whether the [Modified] date can be column specific. It can't.
