[Bug 35645] New: Modification Log only show changed values

For easier reading it would be nice to only show the fields/information that were modified. A previous catalog our library used would show a single line per change when an item was modified. It would show the date | person who made the change | old value | new value. This kept an accurate history and made reviewing the changes easy to read. As there is a single modification page for all items on a bib record the object column identifying which item was changed would need to be included. A similar table could be created for bib record modifications identifying the MARC field that was changed either in the Object column or in its own column, along with the old and new values. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Agree that a more concise change log as Angela describes would be helpful. A step in that direction might be do highlight or change the color of the field(s) that had been edited. I imagine that might be easier coding? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

I like the idea of highlighting as a start. With the 24.11 enhancement to log an item's previous data as well as the changed data this could be a useful conversation again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

That would be sufficient if formatting is difficult - at least in my opinion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

Would you call this more of an "interim solution" that is a step towards redesigning the front-end format? If so, another bug might be good, and just link it to this one as the end goal. It sounds like the ideal format is a more concise and reader-friendly one (less punctuation, more full words) for those of us who are not great at reading code. If this is a final solution, then you are welcome to change this bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
