highlight the field if it was updated

[Simran321]

Hi There,

I have a field call seperation date on my hr case table. I want the field to be highlighted in yellow if it was updated. I was thinking of writing the on load client script but the old value will not be available

How do I compare new value with old value?

I want the field to be highlighted if it was ever updated.
