About the activity fields displayed in the form widget

[bonsai]

I would like to record record updates in an activity field implemented in a portal form widget.

The platform's activity field records updates successfully, but only manually entered information is recorded on the portal screen.

Is there a way to record updates automatically?

My goal is to implement a field in the portal that can record updates to record forms, similar to the platform's activity field.

However, the portal has an activity field that records only manual updates.

@bonsai 

so you want activity formatter to be seen in portal similar to how it's shown in native.

I believe that's not possible.

I could see a table "sp_ui_formatter" and tried inserting record into this via background script but it didn't show on portal

May be you will have to create a custom widget for this and then clone the OOTB Form widget and then add your custom widget in that new Form widget

I will recommend avoid that as it's too much customization.
