Tracking changes to tasks

[Chris_at_work]

Hi,

Is there a way to improve or turn on robust tracking of changes to project tasks?

Currently the Notes TAB on a project task shows very basic log of changes to a project task: for example: State changes.

Is there a way to configure as administrator to turn on tracking, for example: status, % complete, adding checklist items, adding checkmarks to checklist items, etc.

The fields that are shown by default are kept in system properties. So if the admin won't allow for turning it on, ask them to update the system property with the additional fields you want to see.

Hi @Chris_at_work ,

There are some scripts in Project especially in Script includes that are not audited unfortunately - they literally code in a line or lines that will avoid BR's from running /auditing - I am not sure why 

I do know that depending on how you set things up end dates of Project tasks changing can roll up and change end dates on Project as well and actions like you noticed that really happened are not audited..

I think you should still stay out of box but i wonder what the utility is of what you want 

Another thing you can do---- it isnt a scientific or exact thing but - you can take a scheduled job- snapshot of Project End Date changed- IF it is diff than yesterday make a counter. However you would need another field to hold the previous/current date...

It just depends if it is really worth it to know how many times a project end date changes and how valuable or actionable that data is-

Kindly mark the comment as a correct answer and helpful if it helps to solve your problem.
