Do you use the "Reason" field on the sys_audit table?

Hi everyone,

 

I was wondering if I could use the sys_audit.reason field to document why a field was updated for audit purposed.

It is convenient to update via grRecord.update("The reason I am doing the update");

 

But after, I realize that this field does not seems exposed to admin without going to sys_audit. When I look at the history of a record, ServiceNow will display the sys_history_set for this record but it does not show the reason field here.

So, I do not see any valid use case

I am starting to think that the sys_audit.reason can be a relic from the past.

 

Please let me know about your experience with this field. I am curious.

 

Thanks

Philippe
